  • The Lidov-Kozai Effect - Applications in Exoplanet Research and Dynamical Astronomy

    by Ivan I. Shevchenko ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book deals with an effect in celestial mechanics that has become quite important in exoplanet research. The Lidov-Kozai effect reveals itself in coherent periodic variations (which can be very large) of the inclination and eccentricity of an orbiting body in the presence of an inclined perturber. The effect is known to be important in the motion of many asteroids and planetary satellites. ... Read more

  • Dynamical Chaos in Planetary Systems

    by Ivan I. Shevchenko ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This is the first monograph dedicated entirely to problems of stability and chaotic behaviour in planetary systems and its subsystems. The author explores the three rapidly developing interplaying fields of resonant and chaotic dynamics of Hamiltonian systems, the dynamics of Solar system bodies, and the dynamics of exoplanetary systems. The necessary concepts, methods and tools used to study ... Read more

  • If the Universe Is Teeming with Aliens ... WHERE IS EVERYBODY?

    Seventy-Five Solutions to the Fermi Paradox and the Problem of Extraterrestrial Life

    by Stephen Webb ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Given the fact that there are perhaps 400 billion stars in our Galaxy alone, and perhaps 400 billion galaxies in the Universe, it stands to reason that somewhere out there, in the 14-billion-year-old cosmos, there is or once was a civilization at least as advanced as our own. The sheer enormity of the numbers almost demands that we accept the truth of this hypothesis. Why, then, have we ... Read more

  • On the Shores of Titan's Farthest Sea

    A Scientific Novel

    by Michael Carroll ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Titan is practically a planet in its own right, with a diameter similar to that of Mercury, methane rainstorms, organic soot and ethane seas. All of the most detailed knowledge on the moon's geology, volcanology, meteorology, marine sciences and chemistry are gathered together here to paint a factually accurate hypothetical future of early human colonization on this strange world.The views from ...

  • Alien Seas

    Oceans in Space

    Edited by Michael Carroll, Rosaly Lopes ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Oceans were long thought to exist in all corners of the Solar System, from carbonated seas percolating beneath the clouds of Venus to features on the Moon's surface given names such as "the Bay of Rainbows” and the "Ocean of Storms." With the advent of modern telescopes and spacecraft exploration these ancient concepts of planetary seas have, for the most part, evaporated. But they have been ... Read more

  • Orbital Dynamics in the Gravitational Field of Small Bodies

    by Yang Yu ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This prizewinning PhD thesis presents a general discussion of the orbital motion close to solar system small bodies (SSSBs), which induce non-central asymmetric gravitational fields in their neighborhoods. It introduces the methods of qualitative theory in nonlinear dynamics to the study of local/global behaviors around SSSBs. Detailed mechanical models are employed throughout this dissertation, ...

  • Dawn of Small Worlds

    Dwarf Planets, Asteroids, Comets

    by Michael Moltenbrey ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book gives a detailed introduction to the thousands and thousands of smaller bodies in the solar system. Written for interested laymen, amateur astronomers and students it describes the nature and origin of asteroids, dwarf planets and comets, and gives detailed information about their role in the solar system. The author nicely reviews the history of small-world-exploration and describes ... Read more

  • Living Among Giants

    Exploring and Settling the Outer Solar System

    by Michael Carroll ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The outer Solar System is rich in resources and may be the best region in which to search for life beyond Earth. In fact, it may ultimately be the best place for Earthlings to set up permanent abodes. This book surveys the feasibility of that prospect, covering the fascinating history of exploration that kicks off our adventure into the outer Solar System.Although other books provide surveys of ...

  • Titan from Cassini-Huygens

    Edited by Robert Brown, Jean Pierre Lebreton, Hunter Waite ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book is one of two volumes meant to capture, to the extent practical, the sci- ti? c legacy of the Cassini–Huygens prime mission, a landmark in the history of pl- etary exploration. As the most ambitious and interdisciplinary planetary exploration mission ? own to date, it has extended our knowledge of the Saturn system to levels of detail at least an order of magnitude beyond that gained ...

  • Meteors and How to Observe Them

    by Robert Lunsford ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    In this era of high-tech instruments, meteor observing is the one facet of astr- omy that needs nothing more than your naked eye. Meteors can be easily seen without the aid of cameras, binoculars, or telescopes. Just ? nd a comfortable chair and lie back and watch for the surprises that await high above you. It is a great way to involve the family in science where everyone is active at the same ... Read more
