PDF-(DOWNLOAD)-Cosmology

This book is unique in the detailed selfcontained and comprehensive treatment that it gives to the ideas and formulas that are used and tested in modern cosmological research It divides into two parts each of which provides enough material for a onesemester graduate course The firstpart deals chiefly with the isotropic and homogeneous average universe the second part concentrates on the departures from the average universe Throughout the book the author presents detailed analytic calculations of cosmological phenomena rather than just report results obtained elsewhere bynumerical computation The book is up to date and gives detailed accounts of topics such as recombination microwave background polarization leptogenesis gravitational lensing structure formation and multifield inflation that are usually treated superficially if at all in treatises oncosmology Copious references to current research literature are supplied Appendices include a brief introduction to general relativity and a detailed derivation of the Boltzmann equation for photons and neutrinos used in calculations of cosmological evolution Also provided is an assortment ofproblems. and love cosmology” .

This second edition has been updated and substantially expanded. Starting with the description of our home galaxy, the Milky Way, this cogently written textbook introduces the reader to the astronomy of galaxies, their structure, active galactic nuclei, evolution and large scale distribution in the Universe. After an extensive and thorough introduction to modern observational and theoretical cosmology, the focus turns to the formation of structures and astronomical objects in the early Universe. The basics of classical astronomy and stellar astrophysics needed for extragalactic astronomy are provided in the appendix.While this book has grown out of introductory university courses on astronomy and astrophysics and includes a set of problems and solutions, it will not only benefit undergraduate students and lecturers thanks to the comprehensive coverage of the field, even graduate students and researchers specializing in related fields will appreciate it as a valuable reference work. For millennia humans have studied the skies to help them grow crops, navigate the seas, and earn favor from their gods. We still look to the stars today for answers to fundamental questions: How did the universe begin? Will it end, and if so, how? What is our place within it? John North has been examining such questions for decades. In Cosmos, he offers a sweeping historical survey of the two sciences that help define our place in the universe: astronomy and cosmology.             Organizing his history chronologically, North begins by examining Paleolithic cave drawings that clearly chart the phases of the moon. He then investigates scientific practices in the early civilizations of Egypt, Greece, China, and the Americas (among others), whose inhabitants developed sophisticated methods to record the movements of the planets and stars. Trade routes and religious movements, North notes, brought these ancient styles of scientific thinking to the attention of later astronomers, whose own theories—such as Copernicus’ planetary theory—led to the Scientific Revolution.             The work of master astronomers, including Ptolemy, Galileo, Kepler, and Newton, is described in detail, as are modern-day developments in astrophysics, such as the advent of radio astronomy, the brilliant innovations of Einstein, and the many recent discoveries brought about with the help of the Hubble telescope. This new edition brings North’s seminal book right up to the present day, as North takes a closer look at last year’s reclassification of Pluto as a “dwarf” planet and gives a thorough overview of current research.            With more than two hundred illustrations and a comprehensive bibliography, Cosmos is the definitive history of astronomy and cosmology. It is sure to find an eager audience among historians of science and astronomers alike. as Philosophy not Science.
