Pulsars as Astrophysical Laboratories for Nuclear and Particle Physics

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Written by an eminent author, Pulsars as Astrophysical Laboratories for Nuclear and Particle Physics discusses how pulsars are ideal probes for various physical studies, focusing on the interface between nuclear physics, particle physics, and Einstein's theory of relativity. It presents a reliable account of the progress in observational radio and x-ray astronomy. The book covers Hartree-Fock self-energies, partial-wave expansion, stars, and more "exotic" processes, including the formation of absolutely stable strange quark matter-a configuration of matter even more stable than the most stable atomic nucleus.
