| Title | About stars: Their Formation, Evolution, Compositions, Locations and Companions |
| Author(s) | Michael M. Woolfson |
| Publication | New Jersey, World Scientific Publishing Co. Pvt. Ltd., 202. |
| Description | xviii, 368p. |
| Abstract Note | On a clear and moonless night, especially in remote areas such as deserts, myriads of points of light cover the sky. The great majority of them are stars, many like the Sun, but so far away that they can only be seen as point sources of light. The problem faced by astronomers is to find their properties and distances, just from the light they emit. This is done by using the knowledge of science, mainly physics, acquired from small-scale experiments carried out on Earth. However, the stars themselves are laboratories in which matter behaves in ways that cannot be reproduced on Earth so, in finding out about stars, we complement scientific knowledge gained from earthbound experimentation. |

| Title | Welcome to the universe: The Problem Book |
| Author(s) | Neil DeGrasse Tyson;Michael A. Strauss;J. Richard Gott |
| Publication | Princeton, Princeton University Press, 2017. |
| Description | xxv, 235p. |
| Abstract Note | Welcome to the Universe is a personal guided tour of the cosmos by three of today's leading astrophysicists. Inspired by the enormously popular introductory astronomy course that Neil deGrasse Tyson, Michael A. Strauss, and J. Richard Gott taught together at Princeton, this book covers it all--from planets, stars, and galaxies to black holes, wormholes, and time travel. Describing the latest discoveries in astrophysics, the informative and entertaining narrative propels you from our home solar system to the outermost frontiers of space. How do stars live and die? Why did Pluto lose its planetary status? What are the prospects of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe? How did the universe begin? Why is it expanding and why is its expansion accelerating? Is our universe alone or part of an infinite multiverse? Answering these and many other questions, the authors open your eyes to the wonders of the cosmos, sharing their knowledge of how the universe works. Breathtaking in scope and stunningly illustrated throughout, Welcome to the Universe is for those who hunger for insights into our evolving universe that only world-class astrophysicists can provide. |

| Title | Walk through the heavens: A Guide to Stars and Constellations and their Legends |
| Author(s) | Milton D. Heifetz;Wil Tirion |
| Edition | 4th |
| Publication | Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2017. |
| Description | ix, 95p |
| Abstract Note | What is that star called? Where is the Great Bear? A Walk through the Heavens is a beautiful guide to the pathways in the night sky, and which answers these questions and more. Written for complete beginners, this book introduces the reader to the patterns of the northern hemisphere's sky in a clear and memorable way. Its simplified maps and clear instructions make it easy to find the main constellations and identify the bright stars within them. This fourth edition adds color and a map of the Moon to its successful formula. Ancient myths and legends of the sky, some thousands of years old, are retold to add to the wonder and mystery of the stars. No equipment is needed to use this practical guide, just the naked eye and clear dark skies above - simply look up, relax and enjoy this journey across the sky.

| Title | The Cambridge photographic star atlas |
| Author(s) | Axel Mellinger, Ronald Stoyan |
| Description | 1 online resource (1 atlas (ix, 176 pages)) : digital, PDF file(s) |
| Abstract Note | Using the latest methods in digital photography and image processing, The Cambridge Photographic Star Atlas presents the whole sky through large-scale photographic images with corresponding charts. Each double-page spread shows a section of the night sky and is accompanied by an inverted chart highlighting and naming double stars, variable stars, open clusters, galactic and planetary nebulae, globular clusters and galaxies. The 82 large-scale charts, with a scale of 1?? per cm, identify over 1500 deep-sky objects and 2500 stars. Providing a giant mosaic of the entire sky, this unique atlas is unparalleled in detail and completeness, making it indispensable for visual observers and astrophotographers |

| Title | Observing and cataloguing nebulae and star clusters : from Herschel to Dreyer's New general catalogue |
| Author(s) | Wolfgang Steinicke |
| Description | 1 online resource (xi, 648 pages) : digital, PDF file(s) |
| Abstract Note | The New General Catalogue, originally created in 1888, is the source for referencing bright nebulae and star clusters, both in professional and amateur astronomy. With 7840 entries, it is the most-used historical catalogue of observational astronomy, and NGC numbers are commonly used today. However, the fascinating history of the discovery, observation, description and cataloguing of nebulae and star clusters in the nineteenth century has largely gone untold, until now. This well-researched book is the first comprehensive historical study of the NGC, and is an important resource to all those with an interest in the history of modern astronomy and visual deep-sky observing. It covers the people, observatories, instruments and methods involved in nineteenth-century visual deep-sky observing, as well as prominent deep-sky objects. The book also compares the NGC to modern object data, demonstrating how important the NGC is in observational astronomy today |
| Contents Note | Introduction -- William Herschel's observations and parallel activities -- John Herschel's Slough observations -- Discoveries made in parallel with John Herschel's Slough observations -- John Herschel at the Cape of Good Hope -- The time after Herschel's observations untill Auwers' list of new nebulae -- Compiling the General Catalogue -- Dreyer's first catalogue: the supplement to Herschel's General Catalogue -- Compilation of the New General Catalogue -- The New General Catalogue: publication, analysis and effects -- Special topics -- Summary |

| Title | Circumstellar media in the late stages of stellar evolution : proceedings of the 34th Herstmonceux conference, held in Cambridge, July 12-16, 1993 |
| Author(s) | edited by R.E.S. Clegg, I.R. Stevens, W.P.S. Meikle |
| Description | 1 online resource (xiv, 345 pages) : digital, PDF file(s) |
| Abstract Note | In the last throes of their lives, how do low- and high-mass stars interact with their immediate surroundings? How does the circumstellar medium affect the shape of a nebula? How are supernovae affected by a dense medium? And what do we understand of how stellar winds interact with their environments? These and many other exciting issues are addressed in these proceedings, from the 34th Herstmonceux conference, held in Cambridge. Highlights of developments in the field covered in this volume include the latest observational results that show how various types of stellar ejecta differ in shape, and a unified view of the physical processes involved; as well as the latest results on the media around supernovae 1987A and 1993J. This timely volume provides review articles that serve both as an excellent introduction for graduate students and a handy reference for researchers; and up-to-date research papers for those who want to keep abreast of developments in the field |
