Sinopsis del Libro

Libro The First Galaxies in the Universe

This book provides a comprehensive, self-contained introduction to one of the most exciting frontiers in astrophysics today: the quest to understand how the oldest and most distant galaxies in our universe first formed. Until now, most research on this question has been theoretical, but the next few years will bring about a new generation of large telescopes that promise to supply a flood of data about the infant universe during its first billion years after the big bang. This book bridges the gap between theory and observation. It is an invaluable reference for students and researchers on early galaxies. The First Galaxies in the Universe starts from basic physical principles before moving on to more advanced material. Topics include the gravitational growth of structure, the intergalactic medium, the formation and evolution of the first stars and black holes, feedback and galaxy evolution, reionization, 21-cm cosmology, and more. Provides a comprehensive introduction to this exciting frontier in astrophysics Begins from first principles Covers advanced topics such as the first stars and 21-cm cosmology Prepares students for research using the next generation of large telescopes Discusses many open questions to be explored in the coming decade

Physics I: The Gymnasium of the Mind provides undergraduate students with a valuable opportunity to acquire the knowledge and the abilities that are evaluated in the PISA project (Program for International Student Assessment) and will be indispensable in later professional and personal life. The objective of this book is to use carefully analyzed and selected phenomena and adequately designed didactic activities to enable students to become involved and discover that they can learn physics, and with the knowledge and abilities learned, allow them to grow intellectually, emotionally, and...

Hijos de las estrellas

¿Estamos solos en el universo? ¿Cuál es nuestro lugar en él? ¿Por qué estamos aquí? Y, ¿de dónde ha surgido todo lo que nos rodea? Se trata, sin duda, de preguntas esenciales que hemos intentado responder desde tiempos inmemoriales. Esta obra narra de un modo apasionante la visión que un astrónomo tiene acerca de los grandes temas relacionados con el universo, la vida, nuestra existencia y el futuro. Hijos de las estrellas brinda los elementos necesarios para entender tanto las preguntas como las respuestas que la ciencia ha dado hasta el momento. Asimismo, por su enfoque, supone...
