Formation, Evolution, and Dynamics of Young Solar Systems

fromAstrophysics and space science library

0 Type: Book

This book's interdisciplinary scope aims at bridging various communities: 1) cosmochemists, who study meteoritic samples from our own solar system, 2) (sub- ) millimetre astronomers, who measure the distribution of dust and gas of star-forming regions and planet-forming discs, 3…

The Three-Body Problem and the Equations of Dynamics: Poincaré's Foundational Work on Dynamical Systems…

by Poincaré, Henri

fromAstrophysics and space science library

0 Type: Book

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 formulati…

The Lidov-Kozai Effect - Applications in Exoplanet Research and Dynamical Astronomy

by Shevchenko, Ivan I.

fromAstrophysics and space science library

0 Type: Book

This book deals with an effect in celestial mechanics that has become quite important in exoplanet research. The Lidov-Kozai effect reveals itself in coherent periodic variations (which can be very large) of the inclination and eccentricity of an orbiting body in the presence of…

by Meier, David L.

fromSpringer-Praxis books in astronomy and planetary sciences

0 Type: Book

As a result of significant research over the past 20 years, black holes are now linked to some of the most spectacular and exciting phenomena in the Universe, ranging in size from those that have the same mass as stars to the super-massive objects that lie at the heart of most g…

Numerical Simulation of Viscous Shocked Accretion Flows Around Black Holes

by Giri, Kinsuk

fromSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph. D. Research

0 Type: Book

The work developed in this thesis addresses very important and relevant issues of accretion processes around black holes. Beginning by studying the time variation of the evolution of inviscid accretion discs around black holes, and their properties, the author investigates the c…

Transient Magnetic Fields

by Sheeley, Jr

0 Type: Book

This book is an original study aimed at understanding how vacuum magnetic fields change with time. Specifically, it describes the waves that radiate from a sphere when the electric current on its surface is turned on or off, either suddenly, gradually, or periodically. Numerical…
