Book Synopsis Dynamics of Astrophysical Discs by : J. A. Sellwood
Download or read book Dynamics of Astrophysical Discs written by J. A. Sellwood and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-01-22 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covers recent developments in both theory and observations of discs in a wide variety of astrophysical contexts. The volume is based on a conference held at the University of Manchester in 1988, which brought together an international group of experts in a wide range of fields. The papers cover planetary ring systems, discs in star-forming regions, protoplanetary discs, accretion and galaxy discs--areas related by the remarkable similarity between the dynamical problems posed by each type of disc. This will be a valuable reference work for researchers and postgraduate students in many branches of astronomy.
