Synopsis
This comprehensive three-volume set on theoretical astrophysics provides a timely and well-integrated course for graduate students and researchers. Each text has a modular structure, and explains topics in a detailed and pedagogical manner, with numerous worked exercises. Volume I: Astrophysical Processes Provides an indispensable introduction to the physical processes needed to successfully tackle cutting-edge research in astrophysics and cosmology. Covers key concepts including radiative processes, general relativity, and nuclear physics. Volume II: Stars and Stellar Systems Provides a complete introduction to stellar physics, and develops a solid understanding of central concepts including stellar structure and evolution, pulsars, binary stars, the sun and planetary systems. Volume III: Galaxies and Cosmology Covers important topics including the theory of galactic structure and galactic dynamics, structure formation, cosmic microwave background radiation, formation of luminous galaxies in the universe, intergalactic medium and active galactic nuclei.
