| Title | The Cold Universe : Saas-Fee Advanced Course 32, 2002. Swiss Society for Astrophysics and Astronomy |
| Author(s) | Blain, Andrew W;Combes, Francoise;Draine, Bruce T;Pfenniger, Daniel;Revaz, Yves |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2004. |
| Description | XIV, 310 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The cold universe is the part of the universe in a cold form close to the background radiation temperature. Until recently, this cold state has been neglected because it is hard to observe, although it must inevitably play a crucial role as the original state of most of the hotter observable objects such as planets, stars, and galaxies. Fortunately, the cold universe currently becomes more and more accessible with newer instruments. This book contains the printed version of the lectures given at the 32nd Saas-Fee Advanced Course "The Cold Universe" by three eminent scientists in the field: Andrew Blain, Francoise Combes and Bruce Draine. Cold objects at cosmological distances, the origin of galaxies, the role of molecules in galaxies, and the physics of the dust in cold clouds are the main topics treated. This book contains an accessible and up-to-date review of the field and should be useful for many years to astronomy students, cosmologists, physicists and researchers |

| Title | Mapping the Galaxy and Nearby Galaxies |
| Author(s) | Wada, Keiichi;Combes, Francoise |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 2008. |
| Description | XII, 400 p. 103 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This is a proceedings book of the symposium "Mapping the Galaxy and Nearby Galaxies" held on Ishigaki Island, Okinawa, Japan, on June 25 ??? 30, 2006. The symposium focused on mapping the interstellar media and other components in galaxies. Latest results of the following main topics are presented in the volume: Our Galaxy -- mass distribution, local ISM, supermassive black holes and their environments Central part of nearby galaxies -- ISM around starbursts, fueling mechanisms Nearby Galaxies -- molecular gas and star formation, gas dynamics Galactic environment and evolution -- formation of our Galaxy, origin of supermassive black holes The nature of the Dark Matter component -- effects on the internal structures of galaxies |

| Title | Galaxies and Cosmology |
| Author(s) | Combes, Francoise;Boisse, Patrick;Mazure, Alain;Blanchard, Alain |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 1995. |
| Description | XVI, 408 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Cosmology is the study of nature on the grandest scale we know: that of the universe itself. This successful and class-tested textbook covers all the essentials: galaxies, their formation, morphology, dynamics, stellar and gaseous structure, and interactions; radio sources, quasars, and other galactic nuclei and their spectra and absorption-line systems; and the interstellar medium and the universe on a large scale - in short, all of extragalactic astronomy. The emphasis throughout is on data acquired at all wavelengths thanks to modern observational techniques and on the concepts relevant to each type of object. The authors present the thinking that lies at the heart of the newest theories and developments, including the formation of stars and spiral and barred structures, the origin of absorption lines, the properties of galaxies, and recent inflationary theories in cosmology. In addition, the authors have thoroughly revised and updated the text of the French original for this new translation |
