        Gamma-ray Astronomy

        by Joseph A. Angelo, Jr.

        Gamma-ray astronomy is the youngest branch of high-energy astronomy and astrophysics, making this eBook a great resource for the latest in cutting-edge astronomical innovation. Gamma-ray astronomy is based on the detection of the energetic gamma rays associated with supernovas, exploding galaxies, quasars, pulsars, and black holes. This eBook features the space-based observatories by which gamma-ray astronomy is primarily conducted, such as NASA’s Compton Gamma Ray Observatory.

        X-ray Astronomy

        by Joseph A. Angelo, Jr.

        X-ray astronomy is the most advanced of the three general disciplines associated with high-energy astrophysics. This image-packed eBook features the orbiting observatories by which contemporary X-ray astronomy is performed, such as NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory (CXO). X-ray Astronomy covers how detecting x-ray emissions has been valuable in the study of high-energy events, such as the interaction of supernova remnants with interstellar gas and the functioning of quasars. This eBook is an essential read for students with an interest in x-ray and satellite technology.

        The Animal Mirror

        by Zakarías Zafra

        Tapachula, Chiapas: a small city on the southern border of Mexico bearing the weight of a continental migratory crisis. Migrants trapped between bureaucracy, misery, and violence. Tens of thousands of bodies halted in front of the invisible wall of the United States. This book seeks to explore migration from the inside out. Its field of exploration encompasses not only the physical border but also the narrator's personal experience as an immigrant in Mexico. It is a hybrid work that weaves through chronicles, personal essays, autobiography, and travel writing, considering the migratory phenomenon not just as a collapse but as a space for profound subjective elaboration. The story of a religious leader expelled from Angola, the adventures of a former Colombian guerrilla threatened by the dissident factions of the FARC, and the nostalgia of an exiled Sandinista from Daniel Ortega's dictatorship blend in a common chorus with the narrator’s voice, son of a father killed by the Venezuelan state and a mother seeking asylum in Mexico. More than a chronicle, "El espejo animal" seeks to be a spoken portrait of migration in Latin America. It is an artifact that enables and amplifies the voices of migrants where they cannot be heard.

        The Supernova Era

        by Liu Cixin

        One day in late 1999, a supernova explodes in the Auriga constellation. Interstellar dust had shielded this star over the long passage of time, leaving it undiscovered by humanity. The eruption of this supernova nearly makes humanity extinct. Humanity enters a new era on this day: the supernova era. Due to Earth’s proximity to the supernova, radiation sickness becomes widespread, and people begin dying on a massive scale. However, people also discover that children—especially those under twelve years of age—exhibit little to no symptoms of radiation illness. Eventually it becomes known that this phenomenon is connected to the self-repairing nature of genes, an ability that deteriorates with age. According to the most optimistic predictions, everyone on Earth above thirteen years of age will gradually die out over the next ten to twelve months. Thus, in a massive yearlong endeavor known as the “Great Education,” the entire planet’s adult population strives to impart their lives’ worth of knowledge and experience to these young, inexperienced children. One year later. Only children remain on Earth. Society has been utterly transformed. In a world populated only by children, war becomes a game, weapons become toys, and the value of life vanishes from view. When this generation of children views war as a game, they forget that there are no restarts in war. In the game of war, everyone has only one life.

        by Walter H. G. Lewin, George W. Clark, Rashid A. Sunyaev, with KathleenKearney Trivers and David M. Abramson, Editors; National Academy of Sciences

        During the past decade, the field of astrophysics has progressed at an impressive rate. This was reflected by the topics discussed at the workshop from which this book eminated. These topics include the inflationary universe; the large-scale structure of the universe; the diffuse X-ray background; gravitational lenses, quasars and active galactic nuclei; infrared galaxies; results from infrared astronomical satellites; supernova 1987A; millisecond radio pulsars; quasi-periodic oscillations in the X-ray flux of low-mass X-ray binaries; and gamma-ray bursts.

        Frontiers in High Energy Density Physics

        The X-Games of Contemporary Science

        by Committee on High Energy Density Plasma Physics, Plasma Science Committee, National Research Council

        Recent scientific and technical advances have made it possible to create matter in the laboratory under conditions relevant to astrophysical systems such as supernovae and black holes. These advances will also benefit inertial confinement fusion research and the nation’s nuclear weapon’s program. The report describes the major research facilities on which such high energy density conditions can be achieved and lists a number of key scientific questions about high energy density physics that can be addressed by this research. Several recommendations are presented that would facilitate the development of a comprehensive strategy for realizing these research opportunities.

        Travel Guide for Space Explorers

        by Antonio Ereditato

        Every child around the world dreams of venturing into space, of exploring distant planets, of finding alien civilisations nestled in never seen before valleys. And, even when we grow up, we still look at the stars as one of the few remaining genuine wonders of the contemporary world. Antonio Ereditato takes us where no man has ever been before: our journey begins on Earth, where we have to build our star-roaming vessel; then we set off, and Antonio guides us through planets and stars, asteroids and comets, to explain how the universe works. It’s a long trip, passing far beyond the Oort Cloud where comets are born, to the heart of our galaxy. Travel Guide for Space Explorers is a treasure trove of marvels and astonishing vistas; a field manual for the space explorer inside us.

        Look at the stars

        by Grupo Astrófilo Lariano

        * A true guide from heaven, extending (if necessary) to the southern hemisphere, the most explored today. * Stars, nebulae, galaxies, supernovae, variable and double stars, etc. He knows the wonders of the universe not only by having read the description of it, but by having seen them with his own eyes, following the precise indications that he will find in the text and on the maps. * The origin of the constellations: the history of the most famous groups of stars * The various celestial objects: their origins and physical characteristics. * The characteristics of the sky in the different seasons of the year. * Constellations and objects visible in the spring months, summer, autumn, winter and in the southern skies. * Stellar alignments: an indispensable instrument for orient yourself in the sky. * Photos of the most spectacular celestial objects. With tables and data to recognize them. * A book that broadens your horizons from Earth to infinity, from your window to the depths of the universe. The Astrófilo Lariano Group of Como, in Italy, has been collecting for twenty-five years the observations from more than one hundred passionate astronomy partners. These experiences have led to the organization of innumerable informative meetings in schools, libraries, cultural circles and universities. In addition to publishing a newsletter, some of its partners regularly contribute to specialized magazines and newspapers. In Editorial De Vecchi he has published Practical Astronomy Course, a manual that complements what is explained in this book.
