Tyson N: Just Visiting This Planet

Merlin Answers More Questions about Everything under the Sun, Moon and Stars

Optical Beam Control

Life on Earth depends on the Sun -- our star. The book describes the past 100 years of research to understand and build a model of a star -- using the most creative and advanced technologies of the 20th and 21st centuries. Starting from a breakthrough in 1938 of our understanding of the nuclear fusion reactions that power the Sun and other stars, we have created explosions using the same nuclear physics that powers stars. Now, we are developing complex machines that use the same nuclear physics to reproduce the nuclear fusion reactions that power the Sun and the billions of other stars in the galaxies -- to develop electric power.Nuclear laboratories around the world have built complex machines that produce solar nuclear fusion reactions for periods of seconds. This book describes the history of the first early attempts to build fusion reactors and how man has worked for decades to build a machine based on the nuclear reactions that power the stars.It also describes laboratories carrying out the research and the building of the machines designed to start and maintain the steady solar nuclear burning of hydrogen that powers the stars. It is a fascinating read of the history and the current state of international efforts to build star power.

The deep sea is one of humanity's last frontiers. For most of our history it has been a remote realm, invoking awe and terror as it lays shrouded in darkness. But here, where the light cannot reach, lies a strange, wonderful and breath-taking portal into Earth's past, teeming with scientific marvels and lessons for the future of life on this planet. In The Dark Frontier, marine microbiologist and expert deep-sea explorer Jeffrey Marlow plunges us into the unreachable realm and invites us into close-up encounters with its hidden brilliance. There are translucent shrimp that dance through sulfurous vents, crabs that stretch twelve feet from claw to claw and the eerie chalk-white towers of the 'Lost City'. Immersive and illuminating, Marlow's journeys heed warnings too: our reach is exceeding our grasp. We are irrevocably changing the deep sea before we even know it. This expansive book offers crucial and surprising insights into the birthplace of life on ancient Earth. It shows how life can thrive in even the most extreme conditions and expands our understanding of possibilities - and our responsibilities - on earth and beyond.

The Dark Frontier

Handbook of Radiation Belts: Physics Throughout the Solar System provides a comprehensive overview of radiation belt processes throughout the solar system in a single book, compiling all information relevant to radiation belts in one place. It features an overview of radiation belts of each applicable planet in the Solar System to assist researchers working on individual radiation belt physics, particularly of comparative or multiplanetary scope. The handbook goes on to offer a detailed guide to basics such as measurement and particle motion to more advanced topics such as radial transport and associated acceleration. It provides the respective theory behind the physics as well as detailed derivations, with worked examples and case studies, allowing readers to follow the implementation of the theory behind the science to apply in their research. The Handbook of Radiation Belts covers all relevant topics to radiation belts in our Solar System in one complete source, offering researchers, academics and students in space physics a complete guide to the topic for those performing fundamental research and teaching, as well as professionals planning and operating space missions or assets.

Exoplanet Detection Methods: Uncovering the Evolution of Planetary Systems is a comprehensive guide that delves into modern techniques for detecting exoplanets. It explores current methods while unravelling the fascinating story of planetary system evolution. Each chapter is meticulously structured to introduce detection methods, offer step-by-step instructions, analyze datasets, and present available instrumentation. This book caters to both beginners and seasoned researchers, providing them with the means to understand the characteristics and evolutionary timelines of different planetary populations. Beyond methodological insights, the book includes online proposal case studies, curated lists of resources, and further detailed step-by-step methods. This makes it an indispensable companion for those venturing into exoplanetary studies or working on planetary demographics.

Exoplanet Detection Methods

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.

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.

Springer Textbooks in Earth Sciences, Geography and Environment

The first textbook of geoarchaeology provides an excellent introduction to a multifaceted discipline that is related to archaeology as well as to physical geography and other geosciences. The overview of the broad methodological diversity of geoarchaeology makes this book a reliable reference for students, researchers and practitioners. It is therefore an indispensable tool for all those who deal with questions of environmental and cultural history. Geoarchaeological issues are among the most popular topics within the disciplines involved. By deciphering geoarchives using modern dating and analysis methods and interdisciplinary approaches, it is possible to locate past cultures within their environment and reconstruct past landscapes. Especially in the age of global change, it seems all the more important to understand conditions, processes and dynamics of the past, not least in order to be able to apply insights gained to future developments. The book was compiled byscientists from more than 30 different university institutes, authorities and research institutions. The editors are spokespersons for the Geoarchaeology Working Group, which was founded in 2004. Their more than 70 co-authors are among the most knowledgeable experts on their subjects in the German-speaking world and beyond.
