| Title | Astrophysics of Black Holes : From Fundamental Aspects to Latest Developments |
| Author(s) | Bambi, Cosimo |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2016. |
| Description | XI, 207 p. 35 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book discusses the state of the art of the basic theoretical and observational topics related to black hole astrophysics. It covers all the main topics in this wide field, from the theory of accretion disks and formation mechanisms of jet and outflows, to their observed electromagnetic spectrum, and attempts to measure the spin of these objects. Black holes are one of the most fascinating predictions of general relativity and are currently a very hot topic in both physics and astrophysics. In the last five years there have been significant advances in our understanding of these systems, and in the next five years it should become possible to use them to test fundamental physics, in particular to predict the general relativity in the strong field regime. The book is both a reference work for researchers and a textbook for graduate students |

| Title | A Study of the Isoscalar Giant Monopole Resonance : The Role of Symmetry Energy in Nuclear Incompressibility in the Open-Shell Nuclei |
| Author(s) | Patel, Darshana Chandrakant |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2016. |
| Description | XXVI, 102 p. 51 illus., 42 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This thesis reports on investigations of a specific collective mode of nuclear vibration, the isoscalar giant monopole resonance (ISGMR), the nuclear "breathing mode", the energy of which is directly related to a fundamental property of nuclei???the nuclear incompressibility. The alpha inelastic scattering experiments reported in this thesis have been critical to answering some fundamental questions about nuclear incompressibility and the symmetry energy, quantities that are crucial to our understanding of a number of phenomena in nuclear physics and astrophysics, including collective excitations in nuclei, radii of neutron stars, and the nature of stellar collapse and supernova explosions. The work described included three sets of experiments and subsequent sophisticated data analysis, both leading to results that have been welcomed by the community and recognised as important contributions to the field |

| Title | Scattering of Particles and Radiation in Astrophysical Environments |
| Author(s) | Lewkow, Nicholas R |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2016. |
| Description | XI, 106 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This thesis considers the non-equilibrium and energy transfer processes involved in the evolution of astrophysical gases and plasmas. Momentum-energy transfer in collisions of atoms, molecules and ions governs the evolution of interacting astrophysical gas and plasmas. These collisions require an accurate quantum mechanical description and the work presented here develops a unified kinetic and quantum-mechanical model for this consideration. The multi-scale computational approach implemented here takes into account non-thermal distributions of atomic particles and clarifies their role in the evolution of interstellar gas and planetary atmospheres. As shown, the physical parameters of non-thermal distributions strongly depend on the differential cross sections of atomic, molecular and ion collisions. Readers will find a detailed description of the energy relaxation of energetic atoms, produced in the interstellar gas by the solar and stellar wind plasmas. Computation of the non-thermal diffuse background of energetic helium atoms in the heliosphere is also included for evaluation of the contributions from local and cosmic sources and analysis of related satellite observations. Work involving modeling of energetic particle precipitation into planetary atmospheres and formation of the planetary and exoplanetary escape fluxes has been performed with very accurate cross sections, describing momentum-energy transfer processes with high precision. Results of the Monte Carlo simulations, carried out for the Mars atmosphere at different solar conditions, can be used for analysis of observational data for Mars atmospheric escape and investigation into the history of Martian water |

| Title | Shock-Cloud Interaction in RX J1713.7???3946 : Evidence for Cosmic-Ray Acceleration in the Young VHE ??-ray Supernova Remnant |
| Author(s) | Sano, Hidetoshi |
| Publication | Tokyo, Springer Japan, 2017. |
| Description | XIII, 134 p. 60 illus., 53 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book presents a study of the young supernova remnant RX J1713.7-3946 in order to reveal the origin of cosmic rays in our galaxy. The study focuses on the X-ray and gamma radiation from the cosmic ray electrons and protons in the supernova remnant as well as the emission from the surrounding interstellar gas measured by the NANTEN2 4-m radio telescope at Nagoya University. The gamma rays show a good spatial correspondence with the interstellar gas, which for the first time provides strong evidence of the acceleration of cosmic ray protons. Additionally, the author determines that an interaction between the supernova shockwaves and interstellar gas, referred to as ???shock-cloud interaction,??? promotes the efficient acceleration of cosmic ray electrons in the supernova remnant. The book reveals that the interstellar gas plays an essential role in producing the high-energy radiation and cosmic rays, offering vital new insights into the origin and behavior of galactic cosmic rays |

| Title | Classical Pendulum Feels Quantum Back-Action |
| Author(s) | Matsumoto, Nobuyuki |
| Publication | Tokyo, Springer Japan, 2016. |
| Description | XII, 103 p. 36 illus., 5 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | In this thesis, ultimate sensitive measurement for weak force imposed on a suspended mirror is performed with the help of a laser and an optical cavity for the development of gravitational-wave detectors. According to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, such measurements are subject to a fundamental noise called quantum noise, which arises from the quantum nature of a probe (light) and a measured object (mirror). One of the sources of quantum noise is the quantum back-action, which arises from the vacuum fluctuation of the light. It sways the mirror via the momentum transferred to the mirror upon its reflection for the measurement. The author discusses a fundamental trade-off between sensitivity and stability in the macroscopic system, and suggests using a triangular cavity that can avoid this trade-off. The development of an optical triangular cavity is described and its characterization of the optomechanical effect in the triangular cavity is demonstrated. As a result, for the first time in the world the quantum back-action imposed on the 5-mg suspended mirror is significantly evaluated. This work contributes to overcoming the standard quantum limit in the future |

| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2016. |
| Description | XII, 314 p. 107 illus., 88 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Based on graduate school??lectures in contemporary relativity and gravitational physics, this book??gives a complete and unified picture of the present status of theoretical and observational properties of astrophysical black holes. The chapters are written by internationally recognized specialists. They??cover general theoretical aspects of black hole astrophysics, the theory of accretion and ejection of gas and jets, stellar-sized black holes observed in the Milky Way, the formation and evolution of supermassive black holes in galactic centers and quasars as well as their influence on the dynamics in galactic nuclei. The final chapter addresses analytical relativity of black holes supporting theoretical understanding of the coalescence of black holes as well as being of great relevance in identifying gravitational wave signals. With its introductory chapters the book is aimed at advanced graduate and post-graduate students, but it will also be useful for specialists |

| Title | Baryonic Processes in the Large-Scale Structuring of the Universe |
| Author(s) | Durrive, Jean-Baptiste |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2017. |
| Description | XIII, 187 p. 29 illus., 23 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This thesis addresses two very different but equally important topics in the very broad fields of astrophysics and cosmology: (I) the generation of cosmological magnetic fields and (II) gravitational fragmentation of the Cosmic Web. All mathematical developments are completed by illuminating physical interpretations, and the thesis, which is guided by existing observations, is purely theoretical. In part I, the author further develops a magnetogenesis model proposed in the literature, providing an unprecedented level of physical understanding. He demonstrates that the physics of photoionisation is very likely to have premagnetised, at a relevant level, the entire Universe at the early epoch of the formation of the first luminous sources. In part II, the author adapts the tools of plasma spectral theory to the context of gravitational instability of the baryonic gas within the stratified structures of the Cosmic Web. He skillfully derives the wave equation governing the growth of perturbations and explores various equilibrium configurations, in planar and cylindrical geometries characteristic of cosmic walls and filaments, for isothermal and polytropic conditions, with or without an external gravitational background. Clearly structured and written in pedagogical style, this outstanding thesis puts the results into perspective and highlights the merits and limitations of the various approaches explored |

| Title | Evolution of Black Holes in Anti-de Sitter Spacetime and the Firewall Controversy |
| Author(s) | Ong, Yen Chin |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2016. |
| Description | XXIV, 222 p. 48 illus., 6 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This thesis focuses on the recent firewall controversy surrounding evaporating black holes, and shows that in the best understood example concerning electrically charged black holes with a flat event horizon in anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime, the firewall does not arise. The firewall, which surrounds a sufficiently old black hole, threatens to develop into a huge crisis since it could occur even when spacetime curvature is small, which contradicts general relativity.?? However, the end state for asymptotically flat black holes is ill-understood since their curvature becomes unbounded. This issue is??avoided??by working with flat charged black holes in AdS. The presence of electrical charge is crucial since black holes inevitably pick up charges throughout their long lifetime. These black holes always evolve toward extremal limit, and are then destroyed by quantum gravitational effects. This happens sooner than the time required to decode Hawking radiation so that the firewall never sets in, as conjectured by Harlow and Hayden.?? Motivated by the information loss paradox,?? the author also investigates the possibility that ???monster??? configurations might exist, with an arbitrarily large interior bounded by a finite surface area. Investigating such an object in AdS shows that in the best understood case, such an object -- much like a firewall -- cannot exist |

| Title | Gas Dynamics : An Introduction with Examples from Astrophysics and Geophysics |
| Author(s) | Achterberg, Abraham |
| Publication | Paris, 1. Atlantis Press
2. Imprint: Atlantis Press, 2016. |
| Description | XII, 391 p. 83 illus., 36 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book lays the foundations of gas- and fluid dynamics. The basic equations are developed from first principles, building on the (assumed) knowledge of Classical Mechanics. This leads to the discussion of the mathematical properties of flows, conservation laws, perturbation analysis, waves and shocks. Most of the discussion centers on ideal (frictionless) fluids and gases. Viscous flows are discussed when considering flows around obstacles and shocks. Many of the examples used to illustrate various processes come from astrophysics and geophysical phenomena |

| Title | Celestial Mechanics and Astrodynamics: Theory and Practice |
| Author(s) | Gurfil, Pini;Seidelmann, P. Kenneth |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2016. |
| Description | XXXVII, 522 p. 138 illus., 45 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This volume is designed as an introductory text and reference book for graduate students, researchers and practitioners in the fields of astronomy, astrodynamics, satellite systems, space sciences and astrophysics. The purpose of the book is to emphasize the similarities between celestial mechanics and astrodynamics, and to present recent advances in these two fields so that the reader can understand the inter-relations and mutual influences. The juxtaposition of celestial mechanics and astrodynamics is a unique approach that is expected to be a refreshing attempt to discuss both the mechanics of space flight and the dynamics of celestial objects. ???Celestial Mechanics and Astrodynamics: Theory and Practice??? also presents the main challenges and future prospects for the two fields in an elaborate, comprehensive and rigorous manner. The book presents homogenous and fluent discussions of the key problems, rendering a portrayal of recent advances in the field together with some basic concepts and essential infrastructure in orbital mechanics. The text contains introductory material followed by a gradual development of ideas interweaved to yield a coherent presentation of advanced topics |
