  • Galaxies

    A Very Short Introduction

    de John Gribbin ...
    Series series Very Short Introductions
    Galaxies are the building blocks of the Universe: standing like islands in space, each is made up of many hundreds of millions of stars in which the chemical elements are made, around which planets form, and where on at least one of those planets intelligent life has emerged. Our own galaxy, the Milky Way, is just one of several hundred million other galaxies that we can now observe through our ... Leer más

  • Radial-velocity Searches for Planets Around Active Stars

    de Raphaëlle D. Haywood ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This thesis develops new and powerful methods for identifying planetary signals in the presence of “noise” generated by stellar activity, and explores the physical origin of stellar intrinsic variability, using unique observations of the Sun seen as a star. In particular, it establishes that the intrinsic stellar radial-velocity variations mainly arise from suppression of photospheric convection ... Leer más

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

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

    de 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 ... Leer más
