PDF-(BOOS)-Essential Astrophysics (Undergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics)

Essential Astrophysics is a book to learn or teach from as well as a fundamental reference volume for anyone interested in astronomy and astrophysics It presents astrophysics from basic principles without requiring any previous study of astronomy or astrophysics It serves as a comprehensive introductory text which takes the student through the field of astrophysics in lecturesized chapters of basic physical principles applied to the cosmosThis onesemester overview will be enjoyed by undergraduate students with an interest in the physical sciences such as astronomy chemistry engineering or physics as well as by any curious student interested in learning about our celestial science The mathematics required for understanding the text is on the level of simple algebra for that is all that is needed to describe the fundamental principlesThe text is of sufficient breadth and depth to prepare the interested student for more advanced specialised courses in the future Astronomical examples are provided throughout the text to reinforce the basic concepts and physics and to demonstrate the use of the relevant formulae In this way the student learns to apply the fundamental equations and principles to cosmic objects and situations Astronomical and physical constants and units as well as the most fundamental equations can be found in the appendix Essential Astrophysics goes beyond the typical textbook by including references to the seminal papers in the field with further reference to recent applications results or specialised literature.

Provides a physics-centered analysis of a broad range of astronomical systems that appeals to a large audience of advanced undergraduate students in physics and engineeringThis book gives a survey of astrophysics at the advanced undergraduate level. It originates from a two-semester course sequence at Rutgers University that is meant to appeal not only to astrophysics students but also more broadly to physics and engineering students. The organization is driven more by physics than by astronomy in other words, topics are first developed in physics and then applied to astronomical systems that can be investigated, rather than the other way around.The first half of the book focuses on gravity. Gravity is the dominant force in many astronomical systems, so a tremendous amount can be learned by studying gravity, motion and mass. The theme in this part of the book, as well as throughout astrophysics, is using motion to investigate mass. The goal of Chapters 2-11 is to develop a progressively richer understanding of gravity as it applies to objects ranging from planets and moons to galaxies and the universe as a whole. The second half uses other aspects of physics to address one of the big questions. While Why are we here? lies beyond the realm of physics, a closely related question is within our reach: How did we get here? The goal of Chapters 12-20 is to understand the physics behind the remarkable story of how the Universe, Earth and life were formed. This book assumes familiarity with vector calculus and introductory physics (mechanics, electromagnetism, gas physics and atomic physics) however, all of the physics topics are reviewed as they come up (and vital aspects of vector calculus are reviewed in the Appendix). This is a second edition of a textbook that provides the first comprehensive, easy-to-read, and up-to-date account of the fascinating discipline of archaeoastronomy, in which the relationship between ancient constructions and the sky is studied in order to gain a better understanding of the ideas of the architects of the past and of their religious and symbolic worlds. The book is divided into three sections, the first of which explores the past relations between astronomy and people, power, the afterworld, architecture, and landscape. The second part then discusses in detail the fundamentals of archaeoastronomy, including the celestial coordinates the apparent motion of the sun, moon, stars, and planets observation of celestial bodies at the horizon the use of astronomical software in archaeoastronomy and current methods for making and analyzing measurements. The final section reviews what archaeoastronomy can now tell us about the nature and purpose of such sites and structures as Stonehenge, the Pyramids of Giza, Chichen Itza, the Angkor Temples, the Campus Martius, and the Valley of the Temples of Agrigento. In addition, it provides a set of exercises that can be performed using non-commercial free software, e.g., Google Earth or Stellarium, and that will equip readers to conduct their own research. This new edition features an “augmented reality” framework, which on the one hand enhances the didactic value of the book using direct links to the relevant sections of the author’s MOOC (online) lessons and, on the other, allows readers to directly experience – albeit virtually –many of the spectacular archaeological sites described in the book. This is an ideal introduction to what has become a wide-ranging multidisciplinary science. 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.
