Description for The Interstellar Medium, Expanding Nebulae and Triggered Star Formation. Theory and Simulations.
Paperback. Series: Springerbriefs in Astronomy. Num Pages: 82 pages, 7 black & white illustrations, 15 colour illustrations, 15 colour tables, biography. BIC Classification: PGM; PHU; PHVB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 4. Weight in Grams: 145.
This brief brings together the theoretical aspects of star formation and ionized regions with the most up-to-date simulations and observations. Beginning with the basic theory of star formation, the physics of expanding HII regions is reviewed in detail and a discussion on how a massive star can give birth to tens or hundreds of other stars follows. The theoretical description of star formation is shown in simplified and state-of-the-art numerical simulations, describing in a more clear way how feedback from massive stars can trigger star and planet formation. This is also combined with spectacular images of nebulae taken by talented amateur astronomers. ... Read more
