| Title | Secular evolution of galaxies: Collection of reviews from the lectures given during the XXIII Canary Islands Winter School of Astrophysics held in November 2011 in the city of Puerto de la Cruz, Spain |
| Author(s) | Jesus Falcon-Barroso (ed.);John H. Knapen (ed.) |
| Publication | Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2013. |
| Description | xvii, 638p. |
| Series | (Canary Islands Winter School of Astrophysics) |
| Abstract Note | The formation and evolution of galaxies is one of the most important topics in modern astrophysics. Secular evolution refers to the relatively slow dynamical evolution due to internal processes induced by a galaxy's spiral arms, bars, galactic winds, black holes and dark matter haloes. It plays an important role in the evolution of spiral galaxies with major consequences for galactic bulges, the transfer of angular momentum, and the distribution of a galaxy's constituent stars, gas and dust. This internal evolution is in turn the key to understanding and testing cosmological models of galaxy formation and evolution. Based on the twenty-third Winter School of the Canary Islands Institute of Astrophysics, this volume presents reviews from nine world-renowned experts on the observational and theoretical research into secular processes, and what these processes can tell us about the structure and formation of galaxies. The volume provides a firm grounding for graduate students and early career researchers working on galactic dynamics and galaxy evolution.

| Description | xxv, 588p. |
| Series | (Astronomical Society of the Pacific Conference Series) |
| Abstract Note | This book contains the proceedings of a conference, held on 23-27 April in Tenerife, to discuss recent progress on star formation in galaxies. Presentations took into account advances in related areas such as the structure, dynamics, and evolution of galaxies, their stellar and dark matter components, central black holes as clues to their histories, the physics of the interstellar medium, and the feedback on all spatial scales between star formation and the host galaxy. This volume contains more than a hundred papers on these topics including invited reviews, invited and contributed talks, poster presentations, and two panel discussion sessions. These articles provide an in-depth assessment of the current state of the field, relate observations with theory, and link detailed studies of star formation in our own Galaxy with cosmology. |

| Title | Hot subdwarf stars and related objects: Proceedings of a workshop held at Otto-Friedrich-Universitat, Ger |
| Author(s) | Ulrich Heber (ed.);Simon Jeffery (ed.);Ralf Napiwotzki (ed.) |
| Publication | San Francisco, Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2008. |
| Description | xv, 383p. |
| Series | (Astronomical Society of the Pacific Conference Series) |
| Abstract Note | Hot Subdwarfs represent several stages in the very late evolution of low-mass stars. B-type subdwarfs are helium-core burners at the extreme end of the horizontal branch, while O types represent a rich mixture of post-giant branch, post-horizontal branch and post-asymptotic giant branch stars. They are important for many fields of modern astrophysics. Hot subdwarf stars provide:
⢠The UV light of old unresolved populations, such as giant elliptical galaxies, which may be used to measure their ages
⢠laboratories to study plasma processes in high-gravity atmospheres, including radiatively-driven atomic diffusion and its consequences for the chemical composition of the starâs outer layers.
⢠laboratories to study close binary evolution. Many have invisible companions, mostly white-dwarf mergers, while one has a planet, and others may have neutron-star or black-hole companions
⢠laboratories for asteroseismology. Pulsations check the evolution models by giving direct measurements of mass and radius, and the potential to explore other internal properties.
New instruments and theoretical models, as well as a vibrant young research community, are forcin rapid progress in all of these areas. These proceedings provide and informative snapshot of current research. They also include a small number of papers which have been extended to include an introduction for non-specialists. These papers offer a valuable resource useful to a wide audience including beginning graduate students and experienced reviewers for several years to come.

| Title | Second annual spitzer science center conference : Infrared diagnostics of galaxy evolution: Proceedings of a meeting held in Pasadena, California, USA 14 -16 November 2005 |
| Author(s) | Ranga-Ram Chary (ed.);Harry I. Teplitz (ed.);Kartik Sheth (ed.) |
| Publication | San Francisco, Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2008. |
| Description | xxi, 525p. |
| Abstract Note | In November 2005, the 2nd annual Spitzer Science Center international conference was held in Pasadena, California, USA. The purpose of this conference was to provide an overview of the role that infrared imaging and spectroscopy play in revealing the nature of astrophysical environments. Particular emphasis was given to how mid-infrared spectroscopy can disentangle the contribution of star-formation and active galactic nuclei to the bolometric luminosity of individual extragalactic sources.
The conference was motivated by the wealth of data from the first two years of operation of the Spitzer Space Telescope but included contributions from ground-based imaging and spectroscopy as well. A wide variety of astrophysical objects were covered, ranging from star-forming regions in local galaxies, including our own, to high redshift galaxies at the epoch of reionization.
The conference included 14 review talks, 45 contributed talks, 112 posters, and a brainstorming discussion on what Spitzer should do next. The conference and these proceedings clearly highlight the fundamental role that the infrared plays in providing a more complete picture of galaxy formation and evolution over cosmic time.
