Book Description

Recent advances in the understanding of star formation and evolution have been impressive and aspects of that knowledge are explored in this volume. The black hole stellar endpoints are studied and geodesic motion is explored. The emission of gravitational waves is featured due to their very recent experimental discovery.The second aspect of the text is space exploration which began 62 years ago with the Sputnik Earth satellite followed by the landing on the Moon just 50 years ago. Since then Mars has been explored remotely as well as flybys of the outer planets and probes which have escaped the solar system. The text explores many aspects of rocket travel. Finally possibilities for interstellar travel are discussed.All these topics are treated in a unified way using the Matlab App to combine text, figures, formulae and numeric input and output. In this way the reader may vary parameters and see the results in real time. That experience aids in building up an intuitive feel for the many specific problems given in this text.

Book Description

Some twenty years ago the author published a book entitled The Physics of Particle Detectors. Much has evolved since that time, not in the basic physics, but in the complexity, number and versatility of the detectors commonly used in experiments, beam-lines and accelerators. Those changes have been heavily influenced by the concurrent dramatic changes in the microelectronics industry. In parallel, the use of computer-aided teaching has also greatly improved. The present volume explores the physics needed to understand the full suite of front-end devices in use today. In particular the physics explanation is made concurrently with the specific device being discussed, thus making the coupling more immediate. That study is made more interactive by using newer educational tools now available such as dynamic Matlab Apps.

Book Description

This volume is now more than a decade old, and much has transpired since then. The MATLAB tools have evolved from scripts, to Apps and at present to Live code. The Live package is preferred because it combines text and equations with MATLAB code all in a single site. The results of that code, formerly shown separately, also appear in line and in this way the user can vary the parameters of the specific problem and explore immediately how the solutions vary in response. For this reason, the Live scheme is used exclusively in this edition.The physics landscape has also evolved in the last decade. The Nobel prize in 2006 rewarded the discovery of small perturbation in temperature, at the parts per million level of the extreme isotropy of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). The basic isotropy is now thought to indicate a period of rapid expansion of the Universe, called 'inflation'. With those discoveries, there has been more emphasis on astrophysics and cosmology, which contributes to advances in physics over the last decade. These changes have been reflected in the problems which are explored in this volume.

Book Description

This textbook is suitable for a one-semester introduction to General Relativity for advanced undergraduates in physics and engineering. The book is concise so that the entire material can be covered in the one-semester time frame. Many of the calculations are done in detail, without difficult mathematics, to help the students. Though concise, the theory development is lucid and the readers are exposed to possible analytic calculations.In the second edition, the famous twin paradox with acceleration is solved in full from the accelerated observer's frame. The findings of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration, who captured the first ever image of a black hole, are discussed in detail. The geodetic and frame drag precessions of gyroscopes in orbit about a rotating Earth are worked out and the Gravity Probe B (GPB) experiment is discussed. Also in the second edition are some new exercise problems.Resources are provided to instructors who adopt this textbook for their courses. Adopting instructors can print and copy portions of these resources solely for their teaching needs. All instructional resources are furnished for informational use only, and are subject to change without notice.
