  • Symmetries and Dynamics of Star Clusters

    by Jaroslav Haas ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    In this PhD thesis, which was nominated for publication in this series by the Astronomical Institute at Charles University, Prague, the author investigates the orbital evolution of an initially thin stellar disc around a supermassive black hole, considering various perturbative sources of gravity. His findings, obtained by both direct numerical N-body modelling and using standard perturbation ... Read more

  • Introducing Stephen Hawking

    A Graphic Guide

    by J.P. McEvoy ...
    Series series Graphic Guides
    'An ideal introduction [to Stephen Hawking]' - Independent'Astonishingly comprehensive - clearer than Hawking himself' - FocusStephen Hawking was a world-famous physicist with a cameo in The Simpsons on his CV, but outside of his academic field his work was little understood. To the public he was a tragic figure - a brilliant scientist and author of the 9 million-copy-selling A Brief History of ... Read more

  • Special Relativity in General Frames

    From Particles to Astrophysics

    by Éric Gourgoulhon ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Special relativity is the basis of many fields in modern physics: particle physics, quantum field theory, high-energy astrophysics, etc. This theory is presented here by adopting a four-dimensional point of view from the start. An outstanding feature of the book is that it doesn’t restrict itself to inertial frames but considers accelerated and rotating observers. It is thus possible to treat ... Read more

  • Turbulence and Self-Organization

    Modeling Astrophysical Objects

    by Mikhail Ya Marov, Aleksander V. Kolesnichenko ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The book deals with the development of continual models of turbulent natural media. Such models serve as a ground for the statement and numerical evaluation of the key problems of the structure and evolution of the numerous astrophysical and geophysical objects. The processes of ordering (self-organization) in an originally chaotic turbulent medium are addressed and treated in detail with the use ... Read more

  • Dynamics of the Milky Way

    Tidal Streams and Extended Distribution Functions for the Galactic Disc

    by Jason Sanders ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This work presents a study of methods useful for modeling and understanding dynamical systems in the Galaxy. A natural coordinate system for the study of dynamical systems is the angle-action coordinate system. New methods for the approximation of the action-angle variables in general potentials are presented and discussed. These new tools are applied to the construction of dynamical models for ...

  • The Three-Body Problem and the Equations of Dynamics

    Poincaré’s Foundational Work on Dynamical Systems Theory

    by Henri Poincaré ...
    Translated by Bruce D Popp ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Here is an accurate and readable translation of a seminal article by Henri Poincaré that is a classic in the study of dynamical systems popularly called chaos theory. In an effort to understand the stability of orbits in the solar system, Poincaré applied a Hamiltonian formulation to the equations of planetary motion and studied these differential equations in the limited case of three bodies to ...

  • Globular Cluster Binaries and Gravitational Wave Parameter Estimation

    Challenges and Efficient Solutions

    by Carl-Johan Haster ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This thesis presents valuable contributions to several aspects of the rapidly growing field of gravitational wave astrophysics. The potential sources of gravitational waves in globular clusters are analyzed using sophisticated dynamics simulations involving intermediate mass black holes and including, for the first time, high-order post-Newtonian corrections to the equations of motion. The thesis ... Read more

    Bridging the Scales from Quarks to Neutron Stars

    Edited by Morten Hjorth-Jensen, Maria Paola Lombardo, Ubirajara van Kolck ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This graduate-level text collects and synthesizes a series of ten lectures on the nuclear quantum many-body problem. Starting from our current understanding of the underlying forces, it presents recent advances within the field of lattice quantum chromodynamics before going on to discuss effective field theories, central many-body methods like Monte Carlo methods, coupled cluster theories, the ...

  • The Shadow of Black Holes

    An Analytic Description

    by Arne Grenzebach ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book introduces an analytic method to describe the shadow of black holes. As an introduction, it presents a survey of the attempts to observe the shadow of galactic black holes. Based on a detailed discussion of the Plebański–Demiański class of space-times, the book derives analytical formulas for the photon regions and for the boundary curve of the shadow as seen by an observer in the domain ...

    A Rigorous Introduction for the Mathematically Untrained

    by Øyvind Grøn, Arne Næss ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book provides an introduction to the theory of relativity and the mathematics used in its processes. Three elements of the book make it stand apart from previously published books on the theory of relativity.First, the book starts at a lower mathematical level than standard books with tensor calculus of sufficient maturity to make it possible to give detailed calculations of relativistic ...
