TitleGalaxies in the Universe : An introduction
Author(s)Linda S. Sparke;John S. Gallagher III
Edition2nd. (Acc.#21584)
PublicationCambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2000.
DescriptionA#16795 - viii, 379p.; A#ix, 431p.
Contents NoteGalaxies are the places where gas turns into luminous stars, powered by nuclear reactions that also produce most of the chemical elements. but the gas and stars are only the tip of an iceberg; a galaxy consists mostly of dark matter, which we know only by the pull of its gravity. This book presents the astrophysics of galaxies since their beginnings in the early universe. The second edition is extensively illustrated with the most recent observational data. It includes sections on galaxy clusters. gamma ray bursts and supermassive black holes.

TitleGalaxies of the local group
Author(s)Sidney van den Bergh
PublicationCambridge, UK, Cambridge University Press, 2000.
Descriptionxiv, 328p.
Series(Cambridge astrophysics series)
Abstract NoteThe Local Group is a small cluster of galaxies that includes the Milky Way. At least half of all galaxies in the Universe are thought to belong to similar groups. This authoritative volume provides a comprehensive synthesis of what is known about the Local Group. It begins with a summary of each member galaxy, as well as those galaxies previously regarded as possible members. The book examines the mass, stability and evolution of the Local Group as a whole and includes many important previously unpublished results and conclusions. With clarity, Professor van den Bergh provides a masterful summary of all that is known about the galaxies of the Local Group and their evolution, and expertly places this knowledge in the wider context of on-going studies of galaxy formation and evolution, the cosmic distance scale, and the conditions in the early Universe.
