| Abstract Note | This book is a systematic introduction to astrometry and celestial mechanics. It consists of five parts: Observational astrometry, theoretical astrometry, basics of celestial mechanics, orbital dynamics, and rotational dynamics. The book is unique in various aspects. First, it discusses astrometry and celestial mechanics in a single and unified manner. Second, it stands on not the Newtonian but general relativistic viewpoints. Third, it explains both the orbital and rotational motions of celestial bodies. Fourth, it conforms to the latest International Astronomical Union (IAU) resolutions and Conf??rence G??n??rale des Poids et Mesures (CGPM) rules. Lastly, its historical topics, ample exercises, and detailed model answers stimulate readers. The appendixes also provide various tables of constants, basic mathematical formulae, descriptions of symbols used, lists of technical abbreviations and model solutions to exercises. The book is intended for undergraduate students of physics or astronomy. Further, it serves as a pocket reference also useful for professional scientists. The basis of the English translation of this book from its Japanese original manuscript was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision of the content was done by the editor and authors |

| Title | The Laws of Gravity and Electromagnetism : A Non-relativistic Model Invariant Under the Change of Inertial and Non-inertial Coordinate Systems |
| Author(s) | Poliakovsky, Arkady |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Nature Switzerland, 2024. |
| Description | XV, 641 p. 1 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | In this book the author derives, under the classical non-relativistic consideration of the space-time, general forms of the most common physical laws invariant under the changes of inertial or non-inertial coordinate systems, both in the Classical and the Quantum regime. Some important examples of such invariant Physical Laws are the Maxwell Equations, the Newtonian gravity as well as several more complicated models of gravity and many other Physical Laws including many Laws of Quantum Mechanics, Thermodynamics and Statistical Physics, Continuum Mechanics, Optics et. al. Moreover, several basic Laws of Relativistic Physics, both in the classical and Quantum levels can be still formulated invariant under the non-relativistic consideration of the space-time, like the Classical Relativistic Second Law of Newton and Quantum Dirac and Klein--Gordon equations for relativistic particles, including their interaction with the outer gravitational field. In particular, we introduce the Hamiltonian formulation of the Dirac equation, and moreover, we were able to formulate the Dirac equation for multiple particles, similarly to what was done for the Schroedinger equation of the Non-relativistic Quantum Mechanics. One of the goals of this work is the general self-contained and simple mathematical formulation of the most general Physical Laws in a manner understandable to the reader familiar only with basic calculus, Classical Mechanics and some basic elements of non-relativistic Quantum Mechanics |

| Title | Catalysis in Chemistry and Physics : The Roles of Leptons, Special Relativity and Quantum Mechanics |
| Author(s) | Vayenas, Constantinos G;Tsousis, Dionysios G;Martino, Eftychia H |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Nature Switzerland, 2024. |
| Description | XXIII, 196 p. 93 illus., 65 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This monograph explores the profound implications of neutrino discovery and their minuscule masses on our understanding of the Universe. It delves into the fundamental composition of matter, revealing that neutrinos, electrons, and positrons are the only indivisible particles. The book addresses the crucial question of hadronization: the process by which all other particles (hadrons, bosons, etc.) are formed from electrons, positrons, and neutrinos. It examines what catalyzes this significant transformation, which involves a substantial increase in mass. By integrating the Rotating Lepton Model (RLM) of hadrons and bosons with recent experimental data from CERN, the book demonstrates the essential role of electrons and positrons in facilitating the synthesis of hadrons and bosons from ambient neutrinos. It is a valuable resource for graduates, researchers, and academics working in the areas of physics, chemistry, and chemical engineering |

| Abstract Note | "Fascinating details and anecdotes accompany this engaging account of the emergence of dramatic new ideas and forms in music over the centuries..." David Politzer, winner of the 2004 Nobel Prize in Physics. "A thought-provoking, stimulating, and highly original exploration of deep metaphorical links between music and physics...Highly recommended." Prof. Ian Stewart FRS, author, What???s the Use? "An astonishing book!" Tristan Murail, composer and co-creator of the "spectral" technique. Have you ever wondered about the connection between Pauli???s exclusion principle and Schoenberg???s dodecaphony? Or the symphonic echoes of Heisenberg???s uncertainty principle in the compositions of Stockhausen and Cage? The author???s unique methodology offers a fresh perspective, linking the language of mathematics and physics to the creation of musical scores. This book transcends the boundaries of physics and music, and demonstrates that modern physics and contemporary music were born not out of chance???their emergence and development were inevitable events. Dive into philosophical discourses on time, witness the metamorphosis of Boolean algebra, bits, and qubits into musical notation, and discover the limitations of the 12-tone scale mirrored in the speed of light. The author explores the musical endeavors of great physicists like Max Planck and Albert Einstein, unraveling the quantum entanglement of physics mirrored in the extended techniques of contemporary music and unveiling the musical universe of Werner Heisenberg through captivating personal encounters with his descendants. Crafted for general readers and seasoned experts alike, the book maintains clarity and style, ensuring accessibility without sacrificing depth. This pioneering exploration not only draws connections between modern physics and music but also serves as a unique bridge for scientists, musicians, and the curious general audience. Requiring no formal background in physics or music, the book is a compelling read for those intrigued by the uncharted territories where science and art converge, offering a concise and illuminating journey into the shadows of the void |

| Title | Recent Progress on Gravity Tests : Challenges and Future Perspectives |
| Author(s) | Bambi, Cosimo;C??rdenas-Avenda??o, Alejandro |
| Publication | Singapore, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Nature Singapore, 2024. |
| Description | VIII, 463 p. 76 illus., 69 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Einstein's theory of general relativity is one of the pillars of modern physics and it is our standard framework for describing gravitational fields and the spacetime structure. So far, general relativity has passed all experimental tests and agrees with observations. However, the past few years have seen remarkable observational improvements and new techniques that continually challenge the theory's predictions: routinely detect the gravitational wave signals from the coalescence of black holes and neutron stars; can image the supermassive black holes at the center of our Galaxy and of the galaxy M87; can analyze the properties of the X-ray radiation emitted from the very inner part of the accretion disks of several black holes; and keep improving laboratory and Solar System experiments. This book offers an updated self-consistent overview, future perspectives, and challenges of experimental and observational tests of gravity, with both gravitational and electromagnetic spectra. It includes the recent results of laboratory tests of gravity, solar system experiments, tests of gravity in the strong-field regime with astrophysical compact objects, and tests of gravity on large scales with cosmological observations |

| Title | On the Wave Nature of Matter : A New Approach to Reconciling Quantum Mechanics and Relativity |
| Author(s) | Chang, Donald C |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Nature Switzerland, 2024. |
| Description | XXI, 340 p. 99 illus., 80 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book presents a new approach to understanding the foundation of quantum physics through the "quantum wave model" hypothesis. It addresses some of the key challenges in the current quantum theory, including the conflict between quantum mechanics and relativity, and offers a comprehensive solution to many of the existing mysteries in the field. By proposing that the vacuum is a dielectric medium and quantum particles are quantized excitation waves of the vacuum, the book provides a clear physical interpretation of wave-particle duality and explains the physical basis of energy, momentum, and mass. With topics ranging from the physical foundation of quantum mechanics to the derivation of the quantum wave equations and the resolution of the conflict between quantum physics and relativity, this book offers a comprehensive overview of the most pressing issues in the field. Written at a level accessible to undergraduate students and senior researcher scientists alike, this book offers a valuable resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of quantum mechanics and its fundamental role in shaping our understanding of the physical world |
