| Title | Extragalactic novae: A historical perspective |
| Author(s) | Allen W Shafter |
| Publication | Bristol, Institute of Physics Publishing, 2019. |
| Abstract Note | Extragalactic Novae: A historical perspective takes the reader on a journey chronicling the study of a class of eruptive variable stars known as "Novae Stella", Latin for "New Stars". These mysterious transient objects, now referred to simply as novae, have been recognized since antiquity, suddenly appearing in the night sky before slowly fading back into obscurity. The book begins with a brief introduction to the early observations, including an overview of the role that novae played in the birth of extragalactic astronomy, and concludes with a discussion of how nova observations over the past century have contributed to our knowledge of close binary star populations in nearby galaxies. Along the way, the history of our understanding of the nova phenomena, in the Milky Way and beyond, is unveiled. In particular, the author describes how the enigmatic nova eruptions were finally realized to be the result of thermonuclear runaways on the surfaces of accreting white dwarf stars, how a controversial correlation between a nova's peak luminosity and its rate of decline (the MMRD relation) has been used in extragalactic distance determinations, and how recent observations have bolstered the case that novae may form a significant channel for the production of Type Ia supernovae. These topics, and more, are recounted by an observer who has spent the past 35 years studying these fascinating objects. |

| Title | Astrophysical magnetic fields: From Galaxies to the Early Universe |
| Author(s) | Anvar Shukurov;Kandaswamy Subramanian |
| Publication | Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2021. |
| Description | xiii, 625p. |
| Series | (Cambridge Astrophysics Series) |
| Abstract Note | Magnetic fields permeate space and affect many major astrophysical phenomena, but they are often ignored due to their perceived complexity. This self-contained introduction to astrophysical magnetic fields provides both a comprehensive review of the current state of the subject and a critical discussion of the latest research. It presents our knowledge of magnetic fields from the Early Universe, their evolution in cosmic time through to their roles in present-day galaxies, galaxy clusters and the wider intergalactic medium, with attention given to both theory and observations. This volume also contains an extensive introduction into magnetohydrodynamics, numerous worked examples, observational and mathematical techniques and interpretations of the observations. Its review of our current knowledge, with an emphasis on results that are likely to form the basis for future progress, benefits a broad audience of advanced students and active researchers, including those from fields such as cosmology and general relativity. |

| Title | Our universe: The thrill of extragalactic exploration as told by leading experts |
| Author(s) | S. Alan Stern |
| Publication | Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2001. |
| Description | viii, 152p. |
| Contents Note | Book i sa fascinating collection of essays on extragalactic astronomy and cosmology at the dwan of the twenty-first century. This is the second in a series of extrordinary books in which S. Alan Stern has brough together leading space scientists to describe their work. The first of these, our worlds. lloked at the faraway worlds of our solar system, bus in new book we leave our sun behind to explore the vastness of th universe itself.
This accessible and wonderfully illustrated book has been writfenby some of the world's foremost astrophysicists. Some are theorists, some computational modellers, some oberservers, but all provide deep insight into the most cutting-edge, difficult, and bizarre topics of all astrophysics.
book also gives unique perspectives on what drives these extraordinary, talented scientists and how their careers and very lives have been shaped by a burning desire to understand our universe. |
