Astrophysical formulae

Descripción

In general, only derivations for the simpler formulae are included-the extensive list of references point the reader to the sources of long and complicated formulae derivations. Aimed at astronomers and graduate students, this invaluable source is divided into five major sections: 1. Continuum Radiation; 2. Monochromatic(Line) Radiation; 3. Gas Process; 4. Nuclear Astrophysics and High Energy Particles; 5. Astrometry and Cosmology. The excellent table of contents is quite detailed and complements the extensive subject and author indexes.Published 1980.
