This practical guide illustrates the use of state-of-the-art machine learning and data mining techniques in astronomy. The book presents issues in the astronomical sciences that are also important to health, social, and physical sciences. It describes a number of astrophysics case studies that lever..

A concise reference, this book provides overview of interstellar dust and the interstellar medium. Emphasizing and explaining astronomical formulae, it addresses the absorption and scattering of dust, its creation in old stars, as well as emission, cohesion, and electrical charge. The book offers nu..

Offers an introduction to modern ideas on the physical basis of the theory of relativity. This book explores various theories and ideas in big bang cosmology, providing an insight into problems. It presents the standard big bang theory of the universe and also provides an introduction to inflationar..

This textbook provides a full introduction to astrobiology suitable for university students at all levels. Reflecting a multiscience approach, the text covers topics such as stellar evolution, cosmic chemistry, planet formation, habitable zones, terrestrial biochemistry, and exoplanetary systems. Th..

Dusty or complex plasmas are plasmas containing solid or liquid charged particles referred to as dust. Naturally occurring in space, they are also found in the vicinity of artificial satellites and space stations. On an earthly level, dust plays a key role in plasma applications associated with etch..

Offers practical advice to capture a solar eclipse on film, covering topics from eye safety to suitable films. Whether the observer is using a 'fun' camera or sophisticated equipment, this book illustrates what can be achieved...

This book presents meaningful practical work in elementary astronomy and astrophysics. It provides authentic astronomical photographs of very high quality on which different types of objects can be studied with equipment as simple as rulers and protractors. In addition to photographs and a set of ex..
