  • Planetary Aeronomy

    Atmosphere Environments in Planetary Systems

    by Siegfried Bauer, Helmut Lammer ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Planetary Aeronomy is a modern and concise introduction to the underlying physical and chemical processes that govern the formation and evolution of the upper atmospheres of planets. The general approach employed permits consideration of the growing number of extrasolar planets, the detailed observation of which will become possible over the next decades. The book explains the physics behind many ... Read more

  • Characterizing Stellar and Exoplanetary Environments

    Edited by Maxim Khodachenko, Helmut Lammer ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    In this book an international group of specialists discusses studies of exoplanets subjected to extreme stellar radiation and plasma conditions. It is shown that such studies will help us to understand how terrestrial planets and their atmospheres, including the early Venus, Earth and Mars, evolved during the host star’s active early phase. The book presents an analysis of findings from Hubble ... Read more

  • If the Universe Is Teeming with Aliens ... WHERE IS EVERYBODY?

    Seventy-Five Solutions to the Fermi Paradox and the Problem of Extraterrestrial Life

    by Stephen Webb ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Given the fact that there are perhaps 400 billion stars in our Galaxy alone, and perhaps 400 billion galaxies in the Universe, it stands to reason that somewhere out there, in the 14-billion-year-old cosmos, there is or once was a civilization at least as advanced as our own. The sheer enormity of the numbers almost demands that we accept the truth of this hypothesis. Why, then, have we ... Read more

  • On the Shores of Titan's Farthest Sea

    A Scientific Novel

    by Michael Carroll ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Titan is practically a planet in its own right, with a diameter similar to that of Mercury, methane rainstorms, organic soot and ethane seas. All of the most detailed knowledge on the moon's geology, volcanology, meteorology, marine sciences and chemistry are gathered together here to paint a factually accurate hypothetical future of early human colonization on this strange world.The views from ...

  • Australia's Little Space Travellers

    The Flight Shaped Tektites of Australia

    by Don McColl ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book provides a showcase for the incredibly well-preserved flight-textured tektites of southern Australia, which are the world’s finest known examples. It provides an overview of their forms and flight features, which can be expected to appear, at least in part, on any objects falling from space. Some of these specimens are so perfectly shaped that it is hard to believe that they have been ... Read more

  • Formation, Evolution, and Dynamics of Young Solar Systems

    Edited by Martin Pessah, Oliver Gressel ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book's interdisciplinary scope aims at bridging various communities: 1) cosmochemists, who study meteoritic samples from our own solar system, 2) (sub-) millimetre astronomers, who measure the distribution of dust and gas of star-forming regions and planet-forming discs, 3) disc modellers, who describe the complex photo-chemical structure of parametric discs to fit these to observation, 4) ...

  • Electrifying Atmospheres: Charging, Ionisation and Lightning in the Solar System and Beyond

    by Karen Aplin ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Electrical processes take place in all planetary atmospheres. There is evidence for lightning on Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, it is possible on Mars and Titan, and cosmic rays ionise every atmosphere, leading to charged droplets and particles. Controversy surrounds the role of atmospheric electricity in physical climate processes on Earth; here, a comparative approach is employed to ... Read more

  • The Asteroid Impact Connection of Planetary Evolution

    With Special Reference to Large Precambrian and Australian impacts

    by Andrew Y. Glikson ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    When in 1981 Louis and Walter Alvarez, the father and son team, unearthed a tell-tale Iridium-rich sedimentary horizon at the 65 million years-old Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary at Gubbio, Italy, their find heralded a paradigm shift in the study of terrestrial evolution. Since the 1980s the discovery and study of asteroid impact ejecta in the oldest well-preserved terrains of Western Australia and ... Read more
