Thomson‘s deduction that a particle with the e/rn of an electron was in the atom is perhaps the most stunning instance. For us, the deduction of the mean density of a star from its oscillation period is another important example. What then can we deduce about an oscillator that is not periodic? If there are several frequencies or if the behavior is chaotic, may we not hope to learn even more delicate vital statistics about its workings? The recent progress in the theory of dynamical systems, particularly in the elucidat ion of the nature of chaos, makes it seem reasonable to ask this now. This is an account of some of the happenings of a workshop at which this question was raised and discussed. ~iTe were inc0rested in seeing ways in which the present understanding of chaos might guide astrophysical modelling and the interpretation of observations. But we did not try to conceal that we were also interested in chaos itself, and that made for a pleasant rapport between the chaoticists and astrophysicists at the meeting. We have several introductory papers on chaos in these proceedings, particularly on the analysis o | 出版日期 | Book 1985 | 关键词 | astrophysics; star; turbulence | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-009-5468-7 | isbn_softcover | 978-94-010-8914-2 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-009-5468-7Series ISSN 1389-2185 | issn_series | 1389-2185 | copyright | D.
