商品の説明
内容説明
This is a comprehensive and richly illustrated textbook on the astrophysics of the interstellar and intergalactic medium - the gas and dust, as well as the electromagnetic radiation, cosmic rays, and magnetic and gravitational fields, present between the stars in a galaxy and also between galaxies themselves. Topics include radiative processes across the electromagnetic spectrum; radiative transfer; ionization; heating and cooling; astrochemistry; interstellar dust; fluid dynamics, including ionization fronts and shock waves; cosmic rays; distribution and evolution of the interstellar medium; and, star formation. While it is assumed that the reader has a background in undergraduate-level physics, including some prior exposure to atomic and molecular physics, statistical mechanics, and electromagnetism, the first six chapters of the book include a review of the basic physics that is used in later chapters. This graduate-level textbook includes references for further reading, and serves as an invaluable resource for working astrophysicists. Essential textbook on the physics of the interstellar and intergalactic medium, it is based on a course taught by the author for more than twenty years at Princeton University. It covers radiative processes, fluid dynamics, cosmic rays, astrochemistry, interstellar dust, and more. It discusses the physical state and distribution of the ionized, atomic, and molecular phases of the interstellar medium. It reviews diagnostics using emission and absorption lines. It features color illustrations and detailed reference materials in appendices. It includes instructor's manual with problems and solutions (available only to teachers).

Worthy successor to Spitzer
2011/3/23
形式:ペーパーバック
Dr. Lyman Spitzer's book has been the benchmark in this field for nearly 30 years and some of the content has become outdated. Dr. Draine's book brings together a vast array of topics and is encyclopaedic in nature. However, it is not a very easy read and there are certain derivations that one needs to work out by oneself. It also calls for a fairly extensive (though not too advanced) knowledge of the underlying physics. Perfectly suitable for graduate students and researchers in the field.
In particular, I found the sections on radiative processes and fluid dynamics to be very well done. The discussion of ionized gas in the HII regions is also noteworthy. The most impressive aspect of the book is its vastness. It covers virtually every topic possible regarding the ISM and the IGM and has everything from statistical physics to grain dynamics to star formation. There is a very good description of the properties of dust and its effects on various phenomena.
The only slight flaw of the book is that it does not go very deep into any of these chapters. But, as a starting point for nearly any and every topic in this field, the book is almost unparalleled.

Disappointing Kindle edition
2011/9/28
形式:Kindle版|Amazonが確認した購入
This review is not saying anything about Bruce Draine's writing, but about the Kindle conversion, which makes the book difficult and annoying to read. There are random characters, mostly mathematical ones, rendered as huge, pixelated images sometimes but correctly in other places. All equations are cut off on the left side so you can barely tell what is on the left side of the equal sign, and they are generally faint and hard to read. Given that the Kindle version is 2/3 of the paperback price, I expect it to not look like a web page from 1999 created with latex2html. Go with the paper version.
