| Title | Astrometry of Fundamental Catalogues : The Evolution from Optical to Radio Reference Frames |
| Author(s) | Walter, Hans G;Sovers, Ojars J |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2000. |
| Description | XIV, 233 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Celestial fundamental catalogues are a prerequisite for the determination of absolute positions and motions in space. Presently, positional astrometry is at the watershed between classical fundamental catalogues, based on moving reference stars, and modern catalogues, based on extragalactic reference objects with non-measurable motion. This book addresses the concepts and methods of the respective construction techniques leading to the stellar frame of the FK5 (Fifth Fundamental Catalogue) and to the newly adopted extragalactic radio reference frame, ICRF (International Celestial Reference Frame), with its extension to optical wavelengths by the Hipparcos Catalogue. While principal outlines of meridian circle observations are given, emphasis is put in some detail on the VLBI technique as applied to astrometry, and to the observational techniques used in the Hipparcos mission, including the tie of the originally non-anchored rigid Hipparcos sphere into the ICRF |

| Title | Imaging of Complex Media with Acoustic and Seismic Waves |
| Author(s) | Fink, Mathias;Kuperman, William A;Montagner, Jean-Paul;Tourin, Arnaud |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2002. |
| Description | XI, 339 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Acoustic and elastic wave propagation is being investigated in media such as the ocean, the earth, biological tissues and solid materials. In these different areas, many specific imaging techniques have been developed which differ in the wavelength of the sound, its polarisation and the instrumentation used. In this interdisciplinary book, leading experts in underwater acoustics, seismology, acoustic medical imaging and non-destructive testing present basic concepts as well as the recent advances in imaging. The different subjects tackled show significant similarities. This volume gives an up-to-date-overwiew of the field and is intended for scientists and graduates alike |

| Title | General Relativity : With Applications to Astrophysics |
| Author(s) | Straumann, Norbert |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2004. |
| Description | XII, 676 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This text provides a comprehensive and timely introduction to general relativity. The foundations of the theory in Part I are thoroughly developed together with the required mathematical background from differential geometry in Part III. The six chapters in Part II are devoted to tests of general relativity and to many of its applications. Binary pulsars are studied in considerable detail. Much space is devoted to the study of compact objects, especially to black holes. This includes a detailed derivation of the Kerr solution, Israel's proof of his uniqueness theorem, and derivations of the basic laws of black hole physics. The final chapter of this part contains Witten's proof of the positive energy theorem. The book addresses undergraduate and graduate students in physics, astrophysics and mathematics. It is very well structured and should become a standard text for a modern treatment of gravitational physics. The clear presentation of differential geometry makes it also useful for string theory and other fields of physics, classical as well as quantum |

| Title | Physics of Neutrinos : and Application to Astrophysics |
| Author(s) | Fukugita, Masataka;Yanagida, Tsutomu |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2003. |
| Description | XII, 593 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book provides a survey of the current state of research into the physics of neutrinos. It is presented in a form accessible to non-specialists and graduate students, but will also be useful as a handbook for researchers in this field. The reader finds here a global view of the areas of physics in which neutrinos play important roles, including astrophysics and cosmology. The book is intended to be self-contained: Starting from the standard theory of electroweak interactions, the key notions are explained in detail and the fundamental equations are derived explicitly, so that readers can understand their precise content. Prime emphasis is given to the mass of neutrinos and its implications. The first eight chapters deal mostly with well-established knowledge whilst later chapters probe into research problems. |

| Title | The Sun from Space |
| Author(s) | Lang, Kenneth R |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2000. |
| Description | XVI, 357 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Our familiar, but often inscrutable, star exhibits a variety of enigmatic phe?? nomena that have continued to defy explanation. Our book begins with abrief account of these unsolved mysteries. Scientists could not, for example, under?? stand how the Sun's intense magnetism is concentrated into dark sunspots that are as large as the Earth and thousands of times more magnetic. Nor did they know exact1y how the magnetic fields are generated within the Sun, for no one could look inside it. Another long-standing mystery is the million-degree solar atmosphere, or corona, that lies just above the cooler, visible solar disk, or photosphere. Reat should not emanate from a cold object to a hotter one anymore than water should flow up hill. Researchers have hunted for the elusive coronal heating mechanism for more than half a century. The Sun's hot and stormy atmosphere is continuously expanding in all di?? rections, creating a relentless solar wind that seems to blow forever. The exact sources of aB the wind's components, and the mechanisms of its acceleration to supersonic velocities, also remained perplexing problems. The relatively calm solar atmosphere can be violently disrupted by power?? ful explosions, filling the solar system with radio waves, X-rays, and gamma rays, and hurling charged particles out into space at nearly the speed of light |

| Title | Fundamental Astronomy |
| Author(s) | Karttunen, Hannu;Kr??ger, Pekka;Oja, Heikki;Poutanen, Markku;Donner, Karl Johan |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2003. |
| Description | XI, 468 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Fundamental Astronomy gives a well-balanced and comprehensive introduction to the various fields of classical and modern astronomy. While emphasizing both the astronomical concepts and the underlying physical principles, the text provides a sound basis for more profound studies in the astronomical sciences. The present revised and enlarged fourth edition of this successful textbook includes a host of new knowledge. The main difference to the previous editions is the restructuring of some chapters. Earlier chapters 5 (Radiation Mechanisms) and 6 (Temperatures) have been combined, and part of the material of the appendices has been absorbed to appropriate places. Also the chapters on the solar system and cosmology have been more extensively revised. In other chapters there are several small revisions. Many of the tables in Appendix C have also been updated |
