Title From the Sun to the Great Attractor : 1999 Guanajuato Lectures on Astrophysics Author(s) Page, Dany;Hirsch, Jorge G Publication Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2000. Description XI, 348 p : online resource Abstract Note The enormous advances in observational techniques over the last two decades has produced a wealth of data and unexpected discoveries which have helped to reshape astrophysics as a field with well-formulated theories and sophisticated numerical calculations. In nuclear particle physics, plasma physics, as well as in general relativity, the Universe has become a laboratory for cutting-edge research. The courses collected in the book are intended to provide students with this insight, giving a general background on each topic such as cosmic rays, nuclear and neutrino astrophysics, solar physics and strong fields, as well as a presentation of the current research and open problems. The book is aimed at graduate students in physics and astrophysics, as well as researchers, bridging a gap between the specialized reviews and the comprehensive books ISBN,Price 9783540453710 Keyword(s) 1.
