In this book, rotation dynamics of galaxies is described using coupled field equations for the gravitational and electromagnetic fields. Relativistic frame-dragging effect is one of the consequences …

This book contains recent and important results on the deep study of the universe through one of the fields observable that will have a great impact in the next 100 years on space-time research and t …

Up to date and comprehensive in its coverage, Neutrinos in Particle Physics, Astrophysics and Cosmology reviews the whole landscape of neutrino physics, from state-of-the-art experiments to the lates …

Planetary atmospheres is a relatively new, interdisciplinary subject that incorporates various areas of the physical and chemical sciences, including geophysics, geophysical fluid dynamics, atmospher …

Relatively small climate fluctuations, such as the warming period that was observed in recent decades, occur over periods of tens and hundreds of years, and are called near-term climate fluctuations. …

A Practical Guide to Observational Astronomy provides a practical and accessible introduction to the ideas and concepts that are essential to making and analyzing astronomical observations. A key emp …

This book observes features in the solar wind interaction with planetary ionospheres (Venus, Mars and comets) that reveal the existence of phenomena similar to those known in fluid dynamics. Those ob …

General relativity and quantum mechanics have become the two central pillars of theoretical physics. Moreover, general relativity has important applications in astrophysics and high-energy particle p …

This book delves into the foundations of physics and discusses our capability of describing and interpreting the universe, covering areas which border history and philosophy, such as: cosmology and o …

This book takes its readers on an Earthling’s tour through the Solar System. Beginning with an introductory survey of what can be seen in the sky, it describes what scientists have learned about the …
