Barbara Ryden received her Ph.D. in astrophysical sciences from Princeton University. After postdocs at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics, she joined the astronomy faculty at The Ohio State University, where she is a full professor. She has thirty years of experience in teaching, at levels ranging from introductory undergraduate courses to advanced graduate seminars. She won the Chambliss Astronomical Writing Award for the first edition of her textbook Introduction to Cosmology (2016), and is co-author of the books Foundations of Astrophysics (2020), Interstellar and Intergalactic Medium (2021) and Stellar Structure and Evolution (2023).

hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Hardback book in better than very good condition: firm and square with strong joints. Just showing a tiny 10mm nick to the lower corner, otherwise as new. Hence a non-text page shows a small 'damaged' stamp. Despite such this book looks and feels unread. Thus the contents are crisp, fresh and tight. And so a very nice book in great condition, now offered for sale at a reasonable price. Codice articolo 211644

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Although the field of celestial dynamics the application of Newtonian dynamics to systems with a relatively small number of celestial bodies is centuries old, it has been reinvigorated by the discovery of thousands of exoplanetary systems orbiting other stars. This textbook uses the properties of planetary systems, including own Solar System, to illustrate the rich variety of behavior permitted by Newton's law of gravity. The textbook then expands its view to examine stellar dynamics the study of systems containing a very large number of stars or other celestial bodies. The different techniques used for celestial dynamics and stellar dynamics are compared and contrasted. However, throughout the text, emphasis is placed on the underlying physics that applies on scales as small as the EarthMoon system and as large as a cluster of galaxies. It is ideal for a 1-semester astrophysical dynamics course for upper-level undergraduates and starting graduate students. This textbook for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students studying astronomy covers the field of celestial dynamics, with applications to exoplanetary systems and our own Solar System. It also covers the field of stellar dynamics, with applications to larger systems such as galaxies and clusters of galaxies. This item is printed on demand.
