The Physics and Chemistry of the Interstellar Medium by A. G. G. M. Tielens (PDF)

Description

This work provides a comprehensive overview of our theoretical and observational understanding of the interstellar medium of galaxies. With emphasis on the microscopic physical and chemical processes in space, and their influence on the macroscopic structure of the interstellar medium of galaxies, the book includes developments in this area of molecular astrophysics. The various heating, cooling, and chemical processes relevant for the rarefied gas and submicron-sized dust grains that constitute the interstellar medium are discussed in detail. This provides a firm foundation for an in-depth understanding of the ionized, neutral atomic, and molecular phases of the interstellar medium. The physical and chemical properties of large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon molecules and their role in the interstellar medium are highlighted, and the physics and chemistry of warm and dense photodissociation regions are discussed. This is an invaluable reference source for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, and research scientists.

⭐Great

⭐Inteller space is the hardest vacuum that we know of. But it is not empty. Over the vast distances there are atoms, molecules, dust grains, radiations and more. It is a coprehensive overview of our current theories as backed up by the most recent observational understanding of the interstellar medium of galaxies as of 2005.As this is a rapidly developing field, the book is filled with references for the student to find more information from web sites and the like that will contain the most recent findings, research, and theories.This book is suitable for a course for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, and for research scientists. The author is a professor of Astrophysics at the Kapteyn Astronomical Institute in the Netherlands and is a senior scientist with the Dutch Space Agency, SRON.

⭐Understanding the ISM is not easy and using both Draine and Tielens helps.
