| Title | Astronomica: Galaxies, Planets, Stars, Constellation Charts, Space Exploration |
| Author(s) | Fred Watson (Const.);Patrick Moore (Sir) (forwd.) |
| Publication | Elanora Heights, 1. Millennium House
2. Millennium House, Australia, 2007. |
| Description | 524p. |
| Abstract Note | Astronomica combines the knowledge of astronomy experts with the very latest images to present an in-depth look at the universe and the celestial bodies that abound in the intriguing realm of the night sky. Written in an engaging and accessible format, Astronomica is an invaluable reference book that covers a wide range of astronomy topics. There are comprehensive profiles of each of the planets in our solar system, the major stars, the dwarf planets, and other astronomical bodies. The galaxies, including the Milky Way and the local and distant galaxies, are examined.
Successful sky watching is covered in the chapter on observing the stars, which includes detailed charts of each of the 88 recognized constellations, helpful monthly sky charts, and information on equipment and materials to maximize viewing potential. The history of astronomy turns the spotlight on the advances that have been made through the centuries, up to the latest in cutting-edge technology. The chapter on space exploration discusses the successes and failures, the results and disappointments; the role of space stations; and the long-distance spacecraft sent out to the far reaches of the solar system.
Discover all you need to know about the cosmos and its fascinating features. Stunning photographs, detailed illustrations and charts, fact files, and timelines enhance the informative text, as Astronomica brings the cosmic world within easy reach. |

| 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 | Unveiling galaxies: The Role of Images in Astronomical Discovery |
| Author(s) | Jean-Rene Roy |
| Publication | Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2018. |
| Description | xv, 278p. |
| Abstract Note | Galaxies are known as the building blocks of the universe, but arriving at this understanding has been a thousand-year odyssey. This journey is told through the lens of the evolving use of images as investigative tools. Initial chapters explore how early insights developed in line with new methods of scientific imaging, particularly photography. The volume then explores the impact of optical, radio and x-ray imaging techniques. The final part of the story discusses the importance of atlases of galaxies; how astronomers organised images in ways that educated, promoted ideas and pushed for new knowledge. Images that created confusion as well as advanced knowledge are included to demonstrate the challenges faced by astronomers and the long road to understanding galaxies. By examining developments in imaging, this text places the study of galaxies in its broader historical context, contributing to both astronomy and the history of science. |

| Title | Galaxies, structure and evolution |
| Author(s) | Roger J. Tayler |
| Description | 1 online resource (xiii, 208 pages) : digital, PDF file(s) |
| Abstract Note | Galaxies are large systems of stars, some of which contain interstellar gas and dust. They also contain much invisible matter, which may be in the form of weakly interacting elementary particles. In this introductory textbook, the first chapter introduces the study of galaxies. This is followed by two chapters on observations of galaxies, including our own. There are then three chapters on galactic structure: the manner in which motions of stars determine galactic shape, the determination of galactic masses, and the structure of discs in spirals. Galactic evolution, especially changes in chemical composition over time, is covered. The book concludes with a discussion of the origin of galaxies and their relation to more general questions in cosmology. The book includes mathematical presentation where this enables the discussion to be quantitative |

| Title | Nucleosynthesis and chemical evolution of galaxies |
| Author(s) | Bernard Pagel |
| Edition | Second edition |
| Description | 1 online resource (xvii, 466 pages) : digital, PDF file(s) |
| Abstract Note | The distribution of elements in the cosmos is the result of many processes, and it provides a powerful tool to study the Big Bang, the density of baryonic matter, nucleosynthesis and the formation and evolution of stars and galaxies. Covering many exciting topics in astrophysics and cosmology, this textbook, by a pioneer of the field, provides a lucid and wide-ranging introduction to the interdisciplinary subject of galactic chemical evolution for advanced undergraduates and graduate students. It is also an authoritative overview for researchers and professional scientists. This new edition includes results from recent space missions and new material on abundances from stellar populations, nebular analysis, and meteoric isotopic anomalies, and abundance analysis of X-ray gas. Simple derivations for key results are provided, together with problems and helpful solution hints, enabling the student to develop an understanding of results from numerical models and real observations |
| Contents Note | Introduction and overview -- Thermonuclear reactions -- Cosmic abundances of elements and isotopes -- Cosmological nucleosynthesis and abundances of light elements -- Outline of stellar structure and evolution -- Neutron capture processes -- Galactic chemical evolution : basic concepts and issues -- Some specific GCE models and related observational data -- Origin and evolution of light elements -- Radioactive cosmochronology -- Chemical evolution in other sorts of galaxies -- Cosmic chemical evolution and diffuse background radiation -- Appendix 1: Some historical landmarks -- Appendix 2: Some physical and astronomical constants -- Appendix 3: Time-dependent perturbation theory and transition probabilities -- Appendix 4: Polytropic stellar models -- Appendix 5: Dissipation and abundance gradients -- Appendix 6: Hints for problems |
