Astronomy and Astrophysics for the 1980's [PDF]

open access: greenScience, 1982
Astronomy is in a golden age. Discoveries since 1960 include quasars (1963), the cosmic microwave background radiation (1965), pulsars (1967), neutronstar binaries (1970), superluminal expansion of radio sources (1971), solar coronal holes (1973), evidence for gravitational radiation from a binary pulsar (1974), anomalous solar neutrino flux (1976), a ...

Astronomy and astrophysics with neutrinos

Physics Today, 2008
Traversing cosmological distances without bending or energy loss, high-energy neutrinos are messengers from extreme astrophysical environments.

Space Astronomy and Astrophysics

Physics Today, 1991
Nearly everything we know about the cosmos comes from studying celestial electromagnetic radiation over roughly 16 decades of wavelength from radio to gamma ray. But most radiation is totally absorbed by our atmosphere—only radio and optical waves penetrate to Earth, and even these are subject to distortion or interference.

Astronomy + Physics = Astrophysics [PDF]

open access: possible, 1969
In Chapter 1 we sought to give an introduction to classical astronomy with some historical remarks. In the same spirit we now turn to the astrophysical investigation of the Sun and stars. The latter we consider in the first place as individuals. Part III will deal with the internal constitution and evolution of stars and with stellar systems, galaxies,

Sub-Millimeter Astronomy and Astrophysics

1985
As of 1984, the submm band (ν >300 GHz) is relatively unexplored. The word “relatively” should be stressed since, evidently, a great deal of work has been done. However, much of this is of the “discovery” or “first detection” category with emphasis on the priority of a given result, and less thought as to astrophysical consequences.

Astronomy and Astrophysics in India

2004
The growth in astronomy and astrophysics (AaA) in India has been mostly since the country achieved independence in 1947. The present work is carried out in a few select research institutes and in some university departments. The Astronomical Society of India has around 300 working AaA scientists as members, with another 50–60 graduate students.

Astrophysical neutrinos and neutrino astronomy

Nuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements, 1996
I review the status of the search for extraterrestrial sources of high energy neutrinos and discuss some of the theoretical expectations.

Astronomy and Astrophysics

2016
This article looks at the philosophical aspects and questions that modern astrophysical research gives rise to. Other than cosmology, astrophysics particularly deals with understanding phenomena and processes operating at “intermediate” cosmic scales, which has rarely aroused philosophical interest so far.
