  • Special Relativity in General Frames

    From Particles to Astrophysics

    by Éric Gourgoulhon ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Special relativity is the basis of many fields in modern physics: particle physics, quantum field theory, high-energy astrophysics, etc. This theory is presented here by adopting a four-dimensional point of view from the start. An outstanding feature of the book is that it doesn’t restrict itself to inertial frames but considers accelerated and rotating observers. It is thus possible to treat ... Read more

  • Extra Dimensions in Space and Time

    by Itzhak Bars, John Terning ...
    Series series Multiversal Journeys
    In physics, the idea of extra spatial dimensions originates from Nordstöm’s 5-dimensional vector theory in 1914, followed by Kaluza-Klein theory in 1921, in an effort to unify general relativity and electromagnetism in a 5 dimensional space-time (4 dimensions for space and 1 for time). Kaluza–Klein theory didn’t generate enough interest with physicist for the next five decades, due to its problems ... Read more

  • Trajectory Anomalies in Interplanetary Spacecraft

    A Method for Determining Accelerations Due to Thermal Emissions and New Mission Proposals

    by Frederico Francisco ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This thesis presents fundamental work that explains two mysteries concerning the trajectory of interplanetary spacecraft. For the first problem, the so-called Pioneer anomaly, a wholly new and innovative method was developed for computing all contributions to the acceleration due to onboard thermal sources. Through a careful analysis of all parts of the spacecraft Pioneer 10 and 11, the ... Read more

  • Dynamics of the Milky Way

    Tidal Streams and Extended Distribution Functions for the Galactic Disc

    by Jason Sanders ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This work presents a study of methods useful for modeling and understanding dynamical systems in the Galaxy. A natural coordinate system for the study of dynamical systems is the angle-action coordinate system. New methods for the approximation of the action-angle variables in general potentials are presented and discussed. These new tools are applied to the construction of dynamical models for ...

  • The Three-Body Problem and the Equations of Dynamics

    Poincaré’s Foundational Work on Dynamical Systems Theory

    by Henri Poincaré ...
    Translated by Bruce D Popp ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Here is an accurate and readable translation of a seminal article by Henri Poincaré that is a classic in the study of dynamical systems popularly called chaos theory. In an effort to understand the stability of orbits in the solar system, Poincaré applied a Hamiltonian formulation to the equations of planetary motion and studied these differential equations in the limited case of three bodies to ...

  • Searching for the Long-Duration Gamma-Ray Burst Progenitor

    by Robert Allan Mesler III ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Nominated as an outstanding thesis by the Department of Physics and Astronomy of the University of New Mexico, this thesis seeks to identify the gamma-ray burst (GRB) progenitor. GRBs are extragalactic explosions that briefly outshine entire galaxies, but the mechanism that can release that much energy over a < 100 second burst is still a mystery. The leading candidate for the GRB progenitor is ... Read more
