An Introduction to Modern Astrophysics

An Introduction to Modern Astrophysics is a comprehensive, well-organized and engaging text covering every major area of modern astrophysics, from the solar system and stellar astronomy to galactic and extragalactic astrophysics, and cosmol...

Laboratory astrophysics

Astrophysics of Planet Formation

Concise and self-contained, this textbook gives a graduate-level introduction to the physical processes that shape planetary systems, covering all stages of planet formation. Writing for readers with undergraduate backgrounds in physics, as...

Relativistic Astrophysics

The Molecular Astrophysics of Stars and Galaxies

Abstract This book provides a comprehensive survey of modern molecular astrophysics. It includes an introduction to molecular spectroscopy and then addresses the main areas of current molecular astrophysics, including galaxy formation, star...

Magnetic fields in astrophysics

Magnetic fields in astrophysics.

Advancing Astrophysics with the Square Kilometre Array

In 2014 it was 10 years since the publication of the comprehensive ‘Science with the Square Kilometre Array’ book and 15 years since the first such volume appeared in 1999. In that time numerous and unexpected advances have been made in the...

Physics of neutrinos and applications to astrophysics

Astrophysics with Intense and Ultra-Intense Lasers “Laser Astrophysics”

I review the present status of laser astrophysics research in which the intense and ultra-intense lasers are used to study basic data of hot-dense plasmas, violent phenomena such as explosion scaled down in laboratory with appropriate simil...

Lectures on Astrophysics

Lectures on Astrophysics provides an account of classic and contemporary aspects of astrophysics, with an emphasis on analytic calculations and physical understanding. It introduces fundamental topics in astrophysics, including the properti...

Advances in astronomy and astrophysics

Atomic Astrophysics and Spectroscopy

Spectroscopy enables the precise study of astronomical objects and phenomena. Bridging the gap between physics and astronomy, this is the first integrated graduate-level textbook on atomic astrophysics. It covers the basics of atomic physic...

Erratum to: Scattering and bound states for the Hulthén potential in a cosmic string background

Identification of periodic density structures in Solar Orbiter data: Helical structures and flux ropes

Context. Quasi-periodic density structures (PDSs) are quasiperiodic variations in the solar wind density that range from a few minutes to a few hours. They are trains of advected density structures with radial length scales LR ≈ 100 − 10 00...

Eclipsing Millisecond Pulsars with He Star Companions

Eclipsing millisecond pulsars (MSPs) are a type of pulsar binaries with close orbits (≲1.0 day). They are important objects for studying the accretion history of neutron stars (NSs), pulsar winds, and the origin of isolated MSPs, etc. Recen...

Discrete Versions of Jensen–Fisher, Fisher and Bayes–Fisher Information Measures of Finite Mixture Distributions

In this work, we first consider the discrete version of Fisher information measure and then propose Jensen–Fisher information, to develop some associated results. Next, we consider Fisher information and Bayes–Fisher information measures fo...

Inference, Prediction, & Entropy-Rate Estimation of Continuous-Time, Discrete-Event Processes

Inferring models, predicting the future, and estimating the entropy rate of discrete-time, discrete-event processes is well-worn ground. However, a much broader class of discrete-event processes operates in continuous-time. Here, we provide...

SN 2023ixf in M101: Physical Parameters from Bolometric Light Curve Modeling

We present new photometric observations of the core-collapse supernova SN 2023ixf occurred in M101, taken with the RC 80 and BRC80 robotic telescopes in Hungary. The initial nickel mass from the late-phase bolometric light curve extending u...
