Astrophysics: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short… door James Binney
Terrible. Not an introduction, impossible to read if you don’t have a background in physics or the subject
"This is the definitive treatment of the phenomenology of galaxies- a clear and comprehensive volume that takes full account of the extraordinary recent advances in the field. The book supersedes the classic text "Galactic Astronomy"(1988) that James Binney wrote with Dimetri Milalas, and compliments "Galactic Dynamics" written by Binney and Scott Tremaine."
-Ostriker & Spergel, Editors- Princeton Series in Astrophysics
The original version of this book was written in 1987 and is cited 3384 times by papers in astronomy, astrophysics and cosmology according to the Smithsonian/NASA ADS Astronomy Abstract Service.
The latest edition was released in 1998. It is widely regarded, in combination with its companion volume "Galactic Dynamics", as THE single most important text on the study of galaxies. The 1998 edition is cited by 436 papers according to the Smithsonian/NASA Abstract Service.
This text is suitable to advanced undergraduates and graduate level readers.
Table of Contents:
1. Galaxies: an overview
2. Astronomical Measurements
3. The properties of stars
4. Morphology of galaxies
5. Evolution of stars and stellar populations
6. Star clusters
7. The cosmic distance scale
8. The interstellar media of galaxies
9. The Milkey Way's ISM
10. Components of the Milkey Way
11. Stellar kinematics in external galaxies
