Advanced Astrophysics (Cambridge Planetary Science) 1st Edition by Neb Duric (PDF)

Description

Astronomy describes the mechanics of the universe in the more basic language of physics, otherwise known as “astrophysics”. Knowledge of black holes, quasars and extrasolar planets requires understanding of the physics underlying astrophysics. This book clarifies the fundamental principles of the field as well as the important astronomical phenomena it describes. Readers will gain a greater appreciation of the connection between physics and astronomy.

User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: Review “[This books] will be useful to all students of astronomy and astrophysics, irrespective of whether they intened to specialize in observational astronomy. The material can be adapted easily for various related courses, which makes the book even more valuable.” Physics Today, T. Padmanabhan Book Description This 2003 book develops the basic underlying physics required for an understanding of the science of astrophysics. Book Description Astronomy describes the workings of the universe using the more basic language of physics–hence the science of ‘astrophysics’. A proper understanding of phenomena like black holes, quasars and extrasolar planets requires that we understand the physics underlying all of astrophysics. This book develops these basics to provide a fuller, richer understanding of the science of astrophysics and the important astronomical phenomena it describes. The user of this book will gain a greater appreciation of the connection between physics and astronomy and a better understanding of both. Read more

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐As a physicist I found this text excellent (1st year graduate school level). It does assume adequate course prerequisites to follow the text. Derivations and presentations easy to follow. Only rarely is there an unclear point. A reference to use when following published journal articles. A good text before Weinberg’s Astrophysics textbook. Highly recommended.

⭐Great gift for those who like the night skies. Its quite advanced with formulas and lenghty in-depth descriptions (not for children).
