  • New Windows into the Universe

    From the Hubble-, James Webb-, and Other Large Telescopes to Gravitational Wave Detectors

    by Arnold Hanslmeier ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The observation capabilities of modern astrophysics are constantly increasing. They range from optical telescopes and space telescopes in the infrared to radio telescopes, and from gravitational wave detectors to neutrino observatories. While some focus on light in space, others examine the smallest particles underwater or measure disturbances in spacetime smaller than the diameter of a proton. ... Read more

  • Solar Rotation

    by Roman Brajša, Arnold Hanslmeier ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The rotation of the Sun is a basic parameter which constrains the boundary conditions for the model of the MHD-dynamo mechanisms that generates solar activity. The Sun is a slowly rotating star with a convection zone below the surface which is the site of the solar dynamo. The solar rotation depends on the latitude, depth/height and time, i.e., the Sun rotates differentially. In the book several ... Read more

  • Stellar Rotation

    by Arnold Hanslmeier, Roman Brajša ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This textbook highlights mechanisms, properties, observations, and research progress of solar and stellar rotation. The rotation of stars is a basic parameter that enters into the dynamo mechanisms that generates stellar activity. The faster stars rotate the higher stellar activity. Moreover, the rotation can also be used to determine stellar ages. Only in the case of the Sun we can directly ... Read more

  • The Chaotic Solar Cycle

    by Arnold Hanslmeier ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book offers an overview of solar physics with a focus on solar activity, particularly the activity cycle. It is known that solar activity varies periodically, but there are also phases of intermittency, such as the Maunder minimum, during which solar activity is very low or high over several decades. The book provides a brief introduction to chaos theory and investigates solar activity in ... Read more

  • Water in the Universe

    by Arnold Hanslmeier ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Due to its specific chemical and physical properties, water is essential for life on Earth. And it is assumed that this would be the case for extraterrestrial life as well. Therefore it is important to investigate where water can be found in the Universe. Although there are places that are completely dry, places where the last rainfall happened probably several 100 million years ago, surprisingly ... Read more
