Focusing on the interstellar medium, this book explores the fundamental physical processes that shape galaxies. It provides clear numeric estimates of key quantities related to the space between stars, enhancing the understanding of cosmic phenomena. The examination of these processes offers insights into the complexities of the universe and the role of the interstellar medium in galactic formation and evolution.
Focusing on stellar structure and evolution, this book offers an in-depth exploration of fundamental stellar properties. It features integrated problems throughout each chapter, accompanied by detailed worked solutions, making it an invaluable resource for understanding complex astrophysical concepts.
Introduces hydrodynamics to undergraduate students in physics and astrophysics. Stellar winds are a common phenomenon in the life of stars, from the dwarfs like the Sun to the red giants and hot supergiants, constituting one of the basic aspects of modern astrophysics. Stellar winds are a hydrodynamic phenomenon in which circumstellar gases expand towards the interstellar medium. This book presents an elementary introduction to the fundamentals of hydrodynamics with an application to the study of stellar winds. The principles of hydrodynamics have many other applications, so that the book can be used as an introduction to hydrodynamics for students of physics, astrophysics and other related areas.
