Description
The book leads the advanced undergraduate through the wide range of disciplines related to an understanding of the interstellar medium and is suitable for any student studying either physics or astrophysics. The study of the interstellar medium incorporates a large range of physical More...processes on both large and small scales all of which are covered in this text. Together with the inclusion of simple models and problems at the end of each chapter this text provides a comprehensive overview and grounding in the study of the interstellar medium.
Table of Contents
- How we obtain information about the interstellar medium
- microscopic processes in the interstellar medium
- interstellar grains
- radiatively excited regions
- introduction to gas dynamics
- gas dynamical processes in interstellar space
- our present picture of the interstellar gas and star formation
- answers to problems.
