Specific topics are chosen for their contribution to a "big picture" understanding of the interconnectedness of knowledge in astronomy and cosmology. Thus, many topics (stellar astronomy for example) are treated in multiple sections, but from different viewpoints—for example, sizes and distances of stars (space); when stars appeared in the history of the universe (time); stellar evolution (evolution); hydrostatic equilibrium and stellar spectra (process); and stellar structure (structure). Some topics traditional to the introductory astronomy curriculum—eclipses and lunar phases, for example—are omitted altogether as they are inessential for the big-picture goals of the book, and excellent summaries are easily available elsewhere. On the other hand, the book treats some topics not usually covered in an introductory astronomy course, forexample the roles played by equilibrium processes and symmetry in our understanding of the universe. The level is for the beginning undergraduate, with only basic skills in rudimentary algebra assumed. | | 出版日期 | Book 2020 | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-02080-3 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-031-00952-5 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-031-02080-3Series ISSN 2690-0300 Series E-ISSN 2690-0327 | | issn_series | 2690-0300 | | copyright | Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020 |
