| Title | Time-domain studies of the andromeda galaxy |
| Author(s) | Chien-Hsiu Lee |
| Publication | Bristol, Institute of Physics Publishing, 2019. |
| Abstract Note | The advent of charge-coupled devices and the subsequent implementation of ultrawide cameras for large imaging surveys has opened up a new window for time-domain astronomy. In the past, time-domain studies were focused on monitoring campaigns of selected dense stellar fields. This included the Milky Way (the Galactic bulge in particular) and its satellites the Magellanic Clouds. The monitoring campaigns also extended to other nearby galaxies such as the Andromeda and Triangulum galaxies. However, with advances in technology, time-domain studies have been transformed by un-biased all-sky surveys, such as the All-Sky Automated Survey, Pan-STARRS, Palomar Transient Factory, and Catalina Sky Surveys. With the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) on the horizon, there will be an avalanche of time-series data of the entire southern sky. In light of LSST, it is important to prepare future generations of astronomers with the knowledge and tools to digest the big data in a timely manner. |

| Title | Planetary habitability |
| Author(s) | Stephen R Kane |
| Publication | Bristol, Institute of Physics Publishing, 2021. |
| Abstract Note | Understanding planetary habitability is one of the major challenges of the current scientific era, and is a vast inter-disciplinary undertaking that combines planetary science, climate science, and stellar astrophysics. This book provides an overview of the many processes that influence the energy balance of planetary surface environments and control the sustainability of temperate conditions. These factors include such aspects as the influence of stars, the atmospheres and interiors or planets, and the orbital dynamics of planetary systems. Also described are the concepts behind the habitable zone, lessons learned from solar system data, and the vast opportunities that are provided by exoplanet discoveries, both now and into the future. |

| Title | Origins of Giant Planets, Volume 1: Disk, dust, and planetesimals |
| Author(s) | Sarah Dodson-Robinson |
| Publication | Bristol, Institute of Physics Publishing, 2021. |
| Abstract Note | Origins of Giant Planets is a comprehensive overview of giant planet formation aimed at new researchers in the field. With the capability of the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to push the mass limit for direct imaging of young planets down to Saturn's scale, observations within the next ten years are likely to bring meaningful constraints to models of giant planet formation.
Volume one covers protoplanetary disk theory, dynamics of planet-forming dust and ice, collisional grain growth, and planetesimal formation. All theoretical models are benchmarked against empirical knowledge gleaned from disk observations, laboratory research, meteoritics, and solar system dynamics. After reading this book, students and postdocs will be ready to start their own original research into planet formation. Origins of Giant Planets is also a useful reference for senior researchers seeking interdisciplinary connections between astrophysics, planetary science, and cosmochemistry. |

| Title | NASA Kepler mission |
| Author(s) | Steve B. Howell |
| Publication | Bristol, Institute of Physics Publishing, 2020. |
| Abstract Note | The NASA Kepler and K2 missions have made fundamental, paradigm changing advances in essentially every area of astrophysics and planetary science. While known for their breakthrough discoveries in exoplanets—especially small rocky worlds orbiting in the Habitable Zone of their host suns—these missions have also continued to make numerous scientific advances in solar system science, stellar astrophysics and extragalactic astronomy. This book is devoted to the Kepler and K2 missions and covers the tremendous new discoveries made in the areas of spacecraft engineering, asteroseismology, binary and variable stars, stellar astrophysics, white dwarfs, asteroids and comets, active galaxies, supernovae, black holes, and of course exoplanets of all types. It is suitable for the interested layperson, pupils of science and space missions, and advanced science students and researchers wishing for an introduction and highly focused memoir of the NASA Kepler mission and its amazing accomplishments. |

| Title | Multimessenger astronomy in practice |
| Author(s) | Miroslav D. Filipovic;Nicholas F. H. Tothill |
| Publication | Bristol, Institute of Physics Publishing, 2021. |
| Abstract Note | The first non-electromagnetic messengers from space were discovered in the early 20th century, but it is only now that multimessenger astronomy is coming into its own. The aim of Multimessenger Astronomy in Practice is to aid an astronomer who is new to research in a particular area of multimessenger astronomy. Covering electromatic radiation from radio through to gamma-rays, and moving on to neutrino, cosmic-ray and gravitational wave astronomy, it gives the reader an overview of the celestial objects detected in each region, the unique methods used to measure them, as well as the principles and methods of data collection, calibration, reduction and analysis. Further chapters cover dark matter, the multimessenger search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI), and data science with machine learning. The book will help educate astronomy students taking a multimessenger approach, and add to the knowledge of professional astronomers about what is available in today's multimessenger toolbox. |
