PDF-(READ)-Secret Life of Stars: Astrophysics for Everyone

We all know the Sun the powerhouse of our solar system but what about Luytens Flare the RosinoZwicky Object or Chanals variable star For those whose curiosity takes them far beyond Earths atmosphere The Secret Life of Stars offers a personal and readily understood introduction to some of the Galaxys most remarkable starsWritten by awardwinning astronomer Lisa HarveySmith each chapter explains various different and unusual stars and their amazing characteristics and attributes from pulsars blue stragglers and white dwarfs to cannibal stars and explosive supernovae With beautiful chapter illustrations by Eirian Chapman this book brings to life the remarkable personalities of these stars reminding readers what a diverse and unpredictable universe we live in and how fortunate we are to live around a stable star our Sun.

The study of cataclysmic variables - interacting binary stars containing a white dwarf accreting from an orbiting companion - is undergoing an exciting renaissance, as it embraces observations at all wavelengths. Cataclysmic variables allow, in particular, the direct and detailed study of equilibrium and non-equilibrium accretion discs in turn these developments also help in our understanding of X-ray binaries, black holes and active galactic nuclei. This timely volume provides the first comprehensive survey of cataclysmic variable stars, integrating theory and observation into a single, synthesised text. An introductory chapter gives the historical background of studies of cataclysmic variables. The author then goes on to give an up-to-date review of both the observations (at all wavelengths, and over all time-scales), the theories, the models of the structures and accretion processes believed to be involved. A very detailed bibliography is also provided to guide the reader to pertinent primary literature. The first extended work of its kind, Stars as Laboratories for Fundamental Physics stands at the intersection of two burgeoning fields, astrophysics and particle physics. Georg Raffelt, one of the world\'s leading researchers in this field, describes what the study of stars reveals about fundamental particle interactions.Raffelt presents the many uses of stellar astrophysics for research in basic particle physics. He focuses primarily on the properties and nongravitational interactions of elementary particles. Numerous graphs and figures complement the text.Stars as Laboratories for Fundamental Physics is a valuable reference for cosmologists, astrophysicists, and particle physicists. \"\'A book that will make the night sky your lifelong passion. An invitation to immerse yourself in the nature around you and the universe beyond.\' - Professor Brian Cox
The Secret World of Stargazing
is the ultimate astronomy book to set you on your epic journey around the cosmos - it\'s a simple guide to the skies and makes stargazing fun, easy and enjoyable for all - absolutely no equipment is required! Adrian West, AKA the internet sensation VirtualAstro, will take you through the seasons, showing you exactly what you can spot in the sky throughout the year, whether you\'re in your back garden or sitting on an exotic beach somewhere! While you\'re learning how to spot constellations, meteors and comets, you will be switching off your busy mind, sitting still in nature and paying attention to the small details that make up the big picture of life. You\'ll finish reading this beautiful book and come away with a sense of grounding, connection, knowledge and a whole new appreciation of the sky above and the world outside your own - it will soothe your soul.\'An excellent, readable, bright guide to the night sky.\' - Dara O\'Briain\'A superb introduction to astronomy.\' - Chris Packham \" th.
