20,662円 This book acts as a manual for the ancient methods of navigating by the stars, which continue to provide the sailor or pilot with a timeless means of determining location. Despite the prevalence of GPS, a comprehensive set of formulae that can be evaluated on any inexpensive scientific calculator...

9,723円 This book is primarily concerned with the computational aspects of predictability of dynamical systems – in particular those where observation, modeling and computation are strongly interdependent. Unlike with physical systems under control in laboratories, for instance in celestial mechanics, on...

7,900円 This textbook introduces the current astrophysical observations of black holes, and discusses the leading techniques to study the strong gravity region around these objects with electromagnetic radiation. More importantly, it provides the basic tools for writing an astrophysical code and testing ...

4,618円 In the twenty-first century, the debate about life on other worlds is quickly changing from the realm of speculation to the domain of hard science. Within a few years, as a consequence of the rapid discovery by astronomers of planets around other stars, astronomers very likely will have discovere...

12,154円 Johann Bode developed a so-called law of planetary distances best known as Bode’s Law. The story of the discovery of Juno in 1804 by Karl Harding tells how Juno fit into that scheme and is examined as it relates to the philosopher Georg Hegel’s 1801 thesis that there could be no planets between M...

4,618円 As advanced in-space propulsion moves from science fiction to reality, the Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket, or VASIMR® engine, is a leading contender for making 'Mars in a month' a possibility. A paradigm shift in space transportation, this book is an in-depth and compelling story ...

9,723円 This book is a concise primer on galactic radio astronomy for undergraduate and graduate students, and provides wide coverage of galactic astronomy and astrophysics such as the physics of interstellar matter and the dynamics and structure of the Milky Way Galaxy and galaxies. Radio astronomy and ...

360円 Ein vierseitiges Diskussionspapier, von Stephen Hawking auf der Wissenschaftsplattform ArXiv publiziert, hat die theoretische Physik in Aufruhr versetzt und weltweit für Schlagzeilen gesorgt: Hawking, der seinen Ruhm der Entdeckung verdankte, dass der Ereignishorizont von Schwarzen Löchern nicht ...

9,867円 'Krumholz has a strong writing style, didactic to be sure, but also fairly conversational within the limits of the material. While hardly casual reading, this text would be a good resource for a stellar astrophysicist, or any individual seeking to become one.' CHOICE This book provides a modern i...

1,200円 "Todo es precario. La condición humana es tan frágil como las gigantescas estructuras que nos rodean y nos parecen inmortales." Nuestro destino se decidió una centésima de nanosegundo después del Big Bang. Cuando materia y antimateria eran equivalentes, cuando el universo podía volver a ser energ...

1,800円 La fascinación por los astros es una característica común de los seres humanos. Desde la antigüedad, todas las culturas han manifestado interés por explicar el universo y el lugar que ocupamos en él.
