Radiative Processes in Astrophysics By George B. Rybicki, Alan P. Lightman  Publisher: Wiley-Interscience Number Of Pages: 400 Publication Date: 1985-03-26 ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0471827592 ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780471827597 Binding: Paperback Radiative Processes in Astrophysics: This clear, straightforward, and fundamental introduction is designed to present-from a physicist’s point of view-radiation processes and their applications to astrophysical phenomena and space science. It covers such topics as radiative transfer theory, relativistic covariance and kinematics, bremsstrahlung radiation, synchrotron radiation, Compton scattering, some plasma effects, and radiative transitions in atoms. Discussion begins with first principles, physically motivating and deriving all results rather than merely presenting finished formulae. However, a reasonably good physics background (introductory quantum mechanics, intermediate electromagnetic theory, special relativity, and some statistical mechanics) is required. Much of this prerequisite material is provided by brief reviews, making the book a self-contained reference for workers in the field as well as the ideal text for senior or first-year graduate students of astronomy, astrophysics, and related physics courses. Radiative Processes in Astrophysics also contains about 75 problems, with solutions, illustrating applications of the material and methods for calculating results. This important and integral section emphasizes physical intuition by presenting important results that are used throughout the main text; it is here that most of the practical astrophysical applications become apparent. Summary: A must-have for the professional astrophysicist Rating: 5 This is a book that every astrophysicist should have. It is an excellent textbook on radiation processes that enables graduate students to learn the essential physical processes of radiation that take place in the universe while at the same time it is also a helpful reference book for the more experienced researcher. It is quite expensive but it is a very good long term investment which will pay on in the future. Summary: An Almost Perfect Book for a Course on Astrophysics Rating: 4 One of the peculiarities of Astrophysics is that, as a subject, is difficult to teach. It requires to go deep into the physics of the objects under study (which span the whole Universe) but alto to keep a broad view (the so called “Big Picture”) since most of the objects and their histories cannot be understood if they are isolated from the others. One of the problems a teacher faces is, hence, how to strike a balance between these two disparate goals within the limited time of one or two academic terms. Rybicki and Lightman success with this book is to take the physics of astrophysical problems involving radiation from the general approaches of the physics books to the particular conditions of most of the cases that astronomy cares about without leaving rigorousity along the way. With a little abuse of language: They bring Physics a step closer to Astronomy. On the other hand, the area of actual applications that astronomers use is almost neglected. For example, the introductory chapters on Radiative Transfer and Black Body Radiation could have served to motivate a chapter on theoretical basis of photometry (theoretical approach to color indices, extinction by dust or other microscopic particles). This would have given the student a more realistic flavor of the tools that astrophysicists use in their everyday (every night?) work. The Problem Sets, in addition, are claiming for a few numerical applications to profit from the, now easily available to students, computer power. Every serious astrophysics teacher and student should use this book… and think hard on how to take the next step from Rybicki and Lightman to the Absolute Magnitude versus Color Index diagrams. Summary: Excellent Discussion Rating: 5 Thorough, concise, and very readable. Topics are clearly presented, equations are elegantly explained. One of the most useful texts I own. Summary: Standard Text in the Field Rating: 5 下载地址-注意记住密码 Free download Links password: AGN http://rapidshare.com/files/134264901/0471827592.rar or no pw http://ifile.it/tmn653p/0471827592.rar http://www.filefactory.com/file/539d1b/n/0471827592_rar |
