Hicks K: Nature's Balancing Act

Close your eyes and imagine the last moments of a massive star, large as the Solar System. As the mass of its core approaches a fatidic value, the enormous fabric collapses. The star plasma streams like a monstrous wave inward towards the center of the star. In a fraction of a second the core of the star becomes as dense as an atomic nucleus. And then a mighty outward shock wave forms, disrupting the whole structure, the star becoming almost as bright as the whole galaxy. This explosion is a supernova!Chinese observers studied with care these events since ancient times; the observation of these explosions by Tycho Brahe and Kepler was crucial for the adoption of the Copernican system. Do you know that each drop of your blood contains iron atoms produced in these cosmic cataclysms? We are literally star dust, disseminated in the galactic medium by supernovae.This book guides the reader in the discovery of these rare events, the most spectacular that the Universe can offer. Present models reproduce the explosion only with difficulty, as if some details were wrong, or a whole aspect of physics was missing from the equations. Different aspects of these events are illustrated, as well as their historical and scientific importance and their crucial role in the evolution of the galaxy and the living organisms.

Supernova: The Last Flash Of The Disappearing Star

After two scientists crash on a hostile moon, they must use every tool at their disposal to survive. A tense, atmospheric voyage into the unknown from Adrian Tchaikovsky, author of Children of Time.

Gravitational lensing has become an indispensable tool in observational cosmology. This book provides first the theoretical foundation of the observations based on general relativity and then the detailed explanation of gravitational lensing as well as its various applications in the field.

Gravitational Lensing In Cosmology

How do you explore distant stars, buried water on Mars or the first moments after the Big Bang - without leaving your back garden? In The Radio Universe, award-winning astrophysicist Emma Chapman takes us on an electrifying voyage through the cosmos using one of the most powerful, yet overlooked, tools in science: the radio wave. With dazzling clarity and humour, Chapman reveals how these invisible messengers glide through space, bounce off planets, tunnel through clouds and slip past galactic dust - carrying secrets of the universe that no other kind of light can uncover. We follow a single radio wave as it escapes Earth and travels outward - ricocheting off the Moon, tunnelling through Venus's furnace-thick atmosphere, tracing ancient ice hidden in Mercury's shadows and diving deep into the swirling arms of the Milky Way. Along the way, we meet black holes that roar louder than stars, pulsars more precise than atomic clocks and galaxies lit by the very first starlight. We explore volcanic pancake planets, death-defying neutron stars, the eerie possibility of alien broadcasts - and the fragile question of our own future in the cosmos. A celebration of human ingenuity and cosmic curiosity, The Radio Universe reveals that the true frontier of space isn't 'out there' - it's humming quietly all around us, waiting to be heard.

Comparative Planetology

Planetary Tectonism across the Solar System, Volume Two in the Comparative Planetology series, addresses key questions surrounding planetary tectonism, such our understanding of the global contraction of Mercury, the formation of giant rift zones on Saturn's icy moons, or the tesserated terrain on Venus. The book makes connections to Earth, such as how deformation on Mercury is both similar and different, and how to apply theoretical considerations behind plate tectonics on Earth to other planets. The book offers up-to-date, accessible and comprehensive discussions on the major tectonic processes and landforms that shape and drive the evolution of planets, moons and smaller bodies. By placing a singular emphasis on comparing tectonic processes and landforms on all relevant Solar System bodies, with the explicit objective of providing a systems-level understanding of this widespread phenomenon, this book is ideal for anyone studying planetary tectonism.

Planetary Tectonism across the Solar System: Volume 2

It was a story about space - Apollo 13 - which first hooked Sheila Kanani, and now, decades later, after achieving a PhD in Saturn's magnetosphere and working as an outreach officer for the Royal Astronomical Society, she has made a career of weaving together the science and tales of the stars. In The Starspotter's Guide, her first book for adults, Sheila pulls together the rich tapestry of the night sky for the armchair stargazer, sharing the stories that cultures across the world have told about the stars for millennia - and how these have shaped our exploration and understanding of the Earth, from astrologers in ancient India using the stars to calculate the length of the year, to Polynesian explorers using them to navigate far beyond their homes. And now, as our knowledge expands about the endless expanse above us - such as what the stars actually are - Sheila takes us on a journey through what you'd see if you could jump on a spacecraft and explore these galaxies yourself. In this endlessly informative and persuasively interesting miscellany of the night sky, Dr Sheila Kanani takes us on a journey through the cosmos and through the human experience of the stars throughout the ages that will have you rushing outside and looking up, searching for the curve of the Milky Way.

A History of Our Place in the Solar System

Ripples on the Cosmic Ocean

Advanced Series In Astrophysics And Cosmology

The current cosmological model relies on inflationary theories, which incorporate baryosynthesis, dark matter, and dark energy. Supported by precise cosmological data, it necessitates physics beyond the standard models of fundamental forces, including gravity. This connection between macroscopic gravity on large scales and quantum gravity on the smallest scales is where quantum gravity's nature becomes evident. Quantum gravity effects alter our classical understanding of gravitational phenomena as described by General Relativity, leading to observable deviations from the conventional cosmological model. The field of cosmoparticle physics explores the interplay between the micro and macro worlds, offering insights into the development of quantum gravity and its cosmological implications. In this work we hence wanted to cover all the amazing developments which have happened on the interface of quantum gravity theories and cosmology, making it a valuable resource for any researcher interested in exploring these fields in depth or starting research in them.

Space Time And Dark Matter: The Hidden Sectors Of Particle Physics And Cosmology

A Brief History of the Universe (and our place in it)

This book focuses on the linkages between very high energy (TeV or 1012 electron-volt) gamma-ray astronomy and the interstellar medium (ISM), and the key science questions expected to be answered. Their joint study is essential if we are to understand the nature of gamma-ray emission and hence shed light on where extreme cosmic-rays and electrons are being accelerated in our galaxy. Since TeV neutrinos are also intimately tied to the production of gamma-rays of similar energy, we would also extend our discussion to this field.
