Описание: Galaxies are the building blocks of the Universe: standing like islands in space, they are where the stars are born and where many extraordinary and little-understood phenomena can be observed. Here, renowned science writer John Gribbin explores what we have learnt about the cosmos through studying both our own galaxy and our distant neighbours.

Описание: The search for extra-terrestrial intelligence (SETI) has for sixty years attempted to solve Fermi's paradox: if intelligent life is relatively common in the universe, where is everybody? Examining SETI through this lens, this volume summarises current thinking on the prevalence of intelligent life in the universe, and discusses sixty-six distinct solutions to the so-called paradox. It describes the methodology of SETI, and how many disciplines feed into the debate, from physics and biology, to philosophy and anthropology. The presented solutions are organised into three key groups: rare-Earth solutions, suggesting planetary habitability, life and intelligence are uncommon; catastrophist solutions, arguing civilisations do not survive long enough to make contact; and non-empirical solutions, those that take theoretical approaches, such as that our methodology is flawed. This comprehensive introduction to SETI concludes by looking at the future of the field and speculating on humanity's potential fate.

Описание: Developing several novel observational techniques, Harrison demonstrated that energetic winds driven by Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are found in a large number of galaxies, with properties in agreement with model predictions. Leading theoretical models predict that AGN drive energetic winds into galaxies, regulating the formation of stars.

Описание: At the XXIX IAU General Assembly held in Honolulu from 3–14 August 2015, the meetings known as Special Sessions and Joint Discussions were replaced by new 'Focus Meetings'. Astronomy in Focus XXIXB presents the most relevant contributions from the Focus Meetings together with summaries of all the accepted papers and posters. It covers the following topics: the legacy of Planck; x-ray surveys of the hot and energetic cosmos; stellar physics in galaxies; stellar explosions; gravitational waves and structure formation; the search for water and life's building blocks; red supergiants in the local Universe; advances in stellar physics from asteroseismology; scale-free processes in the Universe; and the frontiers of our understanding of cluster and galaxy evolution. The publications Astronomy in Focus XXIXB (together with its companion, XXIXA), the proceedings of the six main Scientific Symposia and Reports on Astronomy: Commission Legacy Reports, fully cover the XXIX IAU General Assembly.

Описание: Distant Galaxies Encapsulate The Various Stages Of Galaxy Evolution And Formation From Over 95% Of The Development Of The Universe. As Early As Twenty-Five Years Ago, Little Was Known About Them, However Since The First Systematic Survey Was Completed In The 1990S, Increasing Amounts Of Resources Have Been Devoted To Their Discovery And Research. This Book Summarises For The First Time The Numerous Techniques Used For Observing, Analysing, And Understanding The Evolution And Formation Of These Distant Galaxies.In This Rapidly Expanding Research Field, This Text Is An Every-Day Companion Handbook For Graduate Students And Active Researchers. It Provides Guidelines In Sample Selection, Imaging, Integrated Spectroscopy And 3D Spectroscopy, Which Help To Avoid The Numerous Pitfalls Of Observational And Analysis Techniques In Use In Extragalactic Astronomy. It Also Paves The Way For Establishing Relations Between Fundamental Properties Of Distant Galaxies. At Each Step, The Reader Is Assisted With Numerous Practical Examples And Ready-To-Use Methodology To Help Understand And Analyse Research.Fran?ois Hammer (Fh) Worked Initially In General Relativity And Made The First Modelling Of Gravitational Lenses Prior To Their Spectroscopic Confirmation. Following This, He Became Co-Leader Of The First Complete Survey Of Distant Galaxies, The Canada–France–Redshift Survey. This Led To The Discovery Of The Strong Decrease Of The Cosmic Star Formation Density Measured From Uv Light As Z=1, Which, Alongside Hector Flores (Hf), They Confirmed As Bolometric And Dust Independent. With Mathieu Puech (Mp), They Then Pioneered The 3D Spectroscopy Of Distant Galaxies, Leading To A Major Increase Of Understanding The Dynamic State Of Distant Galaxies Evidenced By The Scatter Of The Tully Fisher Relation. This Led Them To Propose, With The Addition To The Team Of Myriam Rodrigues (Mr), That Galactic Disks May Survive Or Be Rebuilt In Gas-Rich Mergers, A Scenario That Is Consistent With Contemporary Cosmological Simulations. Besides Extensive Observational Experience, The Authors Have Led, Or Are Leading, Several Instruments Implemented Or To Be Implemented At The Largest Telescopes, Including Vlt/Giraffe (Fh), Vlt/X-Shooter (Fh), Vlt/Moons (Hf) And E-Elt/Mosaic (Fh, Mp, Mr). They Have Also Developed Several Observational Techniques In Adaptive Optics, And In Sky Subtraction For Integral Field Units And Fibre Instruments.

Описание: Why is the Milky Way blue? Why isn't a black hole dark? How many stars can you see with your naked eye? How much hotter are blue stars than red ones??Humans are the only known astronomers in the universe. When we look up at the night sky, we are linked to our ancestors. Away from city lights, we can see what generations of people before us have wondered at and weaved stories around. But all that will change. The Andromeda Galaxy is rushing towards us at 400,000 kilometres an hour.When Galaxies Collide will guide you to look at the night sky afresh. It peers 5.86 billion years into the future to consider the fate of Earth and its inhabitants. Will the solution be to live in space without a planet to call home? Will one of the other 100 billion planets spawn life?Learn how to watch this space.
