  • Atomic Diffusion in Stars

    by Georges Michaud, Georges Alecian, Jacques Richer ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The authors give an overview of atomic diffusion as applied to all types of stars, showing where it plays an essential role and how it can be implemented in modelling. Part I describes the tools that are required to include atomic diffusion in models of stellar interiors and atmospheres. An important role is played by the gradient of partial radiative pressure, or radiative acceleration, which is ... Read more

  • The Little Book of Black Holes

    by Frans Pretorius, Steven S. Gubser ...
    Series series Science Essentials
    Dive into a mind-bending exploration of the physics of black holesBlack holes, predicted by Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity more than a century ago, have long intrigued scientists and the public with their bizarre and fantastical properties. Although Einstein understood that black holes were mathematical solutions to his equations, he never accepted their physical reality—a ... Read more

  • The B−L Phase Transition

    Implications for Cosmology and Neutrinos

    by Kai Schmitz ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Several of the very foundations of the cosmological standard model — the baryon asymmetry of the universe, dark matter, and the origin of the hot big bang itself — still call for an explanation from the perspective of fundamental physics. This work advocates one intriguing possibility for a consistent cosmology that fills in the theoretical gaps while being fully in accordance with the ... Read more

  • General Relativity and the Einstein Equations

    by Yvonne Choquet-Bruhat ...
    Series series Oxford Mathematical Monographs
    General Relativity has passed all experimental and observational tests to model the motion of isolated bodies with strong gravitational fields, though the mathematical and numerical study of these motions is still in its infancy. It is believed that General Relativity models our cosmos, with a manifold of dimensions possibly greater than four and debatable topology opening a vast field of ... Read more
