City Astronomy
de Robin Scagell(Ed. Sky Pub Corp) Isbn : 0933346751
18 €
Amateur astronomers who live in light-polluted cities can now pursue their interests without driving hours into the countryside in search of pitch-black night skies. After introducing the impact of urban lighting on recreational astronomy, City Astronomy focuses on solutions. Readers will learn how to spot the right weather conditions for optimal seeing. Basic telescope types and their usefulness to the city observer are discussed, as well as helpful accessories such as light-pollution discussed, as well as helpful accessories such as light-pollution filters. City Astronomy points out the types of celestial objects that are easiest to see from cities and suburbs, and those that are next to impossible. Special attention is given to techniques and equipment for astrophotography, including ne...

The Planet Mars: A History of Observation Discovery
de William Sheehan, Jim Bell(Ed. University of Arizona Press) Isbn : 0816516405
45.12 €
Although two decades have passed since the last spacecraft successfully visited Mars, several missions will be launched in the next year. In this timely volume, Sheehan (Worlds in the Sky, LJ 9/1/92) traces the history of our understanding of the planet that most closely resembles Earth and the evolution of the belief that, consequently, Mars harbors intelligent life. This optimistic view peaked with Percival Lowell's theories regarding the famous Martian canals in the early 20th century and finally was discredited by subsequent advances in astronomy and space science. Sheehan documents the discoveries made by earlier astronomers on through the Mariner and Viking spacecraft, which returned stunning images of Mars as it truly is?a cold, dry planet with the largest volcanoes and canyons in t...

Thermonuclear Supernovae
de Spain) NATO Advanced Study Institute on Thermonucl(Ed. Springer) Isbn : 079234359X
306.79 €
All theoretical and observational topics relevant to the understanding of the thermonuclear (Type Ia) supernova phenomenon are thoroughly and consistently reviewed by a panel including the foremost experts in the field. The book covers all aspects, ranging from the observations of SNe Ia at all stages and all wavelengths to the 2D and 3D modelling of thermonuclear flames in very dense plasmas. Scenarios for close binary evolution leading to SNe Ia are discussed. Particular emphasis is placed on the homogeneity vs. diversity of SNe Ia and on their use as standard candles to measure cosmological parameters. The book reflects the recent and very significant progress made in both the modelling of the explosions and in the observational field.
