Stellar Astrophysics for the Local Group


Book Description

A review of the new subject of extragalactic stellar astrophysics - for both graduate students and researchers working in astrophysics.




The Shapes of Galaxies and Their Dark Halos


Book Description

This book constitutes the proceedings of a very topical workshop aimed at understanding the shapes of the baryonic and dark matter components of galaxies. Several groups presented their recent results from observations and numerical N-body simulations.




Galaxy Morphology and Classification


Book Description

A concise and up-to-date guide to the shape of galaxies and how they can be classified, by one of the pioneers of the field.




Literature 1997, Part 1


Book Description

Astronomy and Astrophysics Abstracts is devoted to the recording, summarizing and indexing of astronomical publications throughout the world. Two volumes are scheduled to appear per year. Volume 67 records 10,903 papers covering besides the classical fields of astronomy and astrophysics such matters as space flights related to astronomy, lunar and planetary probes and satellites, meteorites and interplanetary matter, X rays and cosmic rays, quasars and pulsars. The abstracts are classified under more than one hundred subject categories thus permitting quick surveying of the bulk of material published on the same topic within six months. For instance, this volume records 119 papers on minor planets, 155 papers on supernovae, and 554 papers on cosmology.




Near-Field Cosmology with Dwarf Elliptical Galaxies (IAU C198)


Book Description

Proceedings of IAUC 198, covering important issues related to near-field cosmology with dwarf elliptical galaxies.







Dark Matter in the Universe


Book Description




Groups of Galaxies in the Nearby Universe


Book Description

For every galaxy in the field or in clusters, there are about three galaxies in groups. The Milky Way itself resides in a group. Groups in the local universe offer the chance to study galaxies in environments characterized by strong interactions. In the cosmological context, groups trace large-scale structures better than clusters; the evolution of groups and clusters appears to be related. All these aspects of research are summarized in this book.
