| Title | Astronomy of Ancient Egypt : A Cultural Perspective |
| Author(s) | Belmonte, Juan Antonio;Lull, Jos?? |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer International Publishing, 2023. |
| Description | XXXVIII, 588 p. 928 illus., 190 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book is a comprehensive reference on ancient Egyptian astronomy. Written by two recognized specialists???one an astronomer trained in Egyptology, and the other an Egyptologist trained in astronomy???it synthesizes and analyses the international body of research surrounding this ancient culture. The chapters in this work address all major topics in the field, including Egyptian cosmogony and worldview, timekeeping devices and calendars, land- and skyscapes, astronomy-influenced architecture, chronology and more. Each chapter includes an introduction, an overview of the existing documentation on the subject, a critical discussion of ongoing debates and questions, and a presentation of state-of-the-art research. Straddling the line between Egyptology and astronomy, this multidisciplinary book will appeal to any scholar or specialist interested in studying ancient Egyptian astronomy |

| Title | Extrasolar planets: XVI canary islands winter school of astrophysics |
| Author(s) | Hans Deeg;Juan Antonio Belmonte;Antonio Aparicio |
| Publication | Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2007. |
| Abstract Note | This volume presents the lectures from the sixteenth Winter School of the Instituto de Astrofsica de Canarias, which was dedicated to extrasolar planets. Research into extrasolar planets is one of the most exciting fields of astrophysics, and the past decade has seen research leap from speculations on the existence of planets orbiting other stars to the discovery of around 200 planets to date. The book covers a wide range of issues, from the state-of-the-art observational techniques used to detect extrasolar planets, to the characterizations of these planets, and the techniques used in the remote detection of life. It also looks at the insights we can gain from our own Solar System, and how we can apply them. The contributors, all of high-standing in the field, provide a balanced and varied introduction to extrasolar planets for research astronomers and graduate students, bridging theoretical developments and observational advances. |
