This volume offers a practical guide to asteroseismology for graduate students and scientists involved with stellar astrophysics. It introduces asteroseismology and provides comprehensive coverage of fundamental theory, observations and techniques, in addition data analysis methods.
Asteroseismology refers to the study of the internal structure of pulsating stars through the interpretation of their frequency spectra. This is the first book available on the subject and offers a practical guide for graduate students or scientists working in the growing field of stellar astrophysics. Asteroseismology is the only available method so far to derive the internal structure of the stars with high precision. The basic principles are very much like those developed by earth seismologists. This book provides a general introduction into the research area of asteroseismology, covering all aspects from observations, methodology for data analysis, up to seismic interpretations of stars.
First general introduction monograph available that deals with Asteroseismology Covers all aspects from observations, methodology for data analysis, up to seismic interpretations of stars Practical guide for graduate students or scientists working in the growing field of stellar astrophysics
Autorentext
Conny Aerts is full professor at the University of Leuven, Belgium, as well as professor by special appointment on the Chair Asteroseismology, University of Nijmegen, The Netherlands. Jørgen Christensen-Dalsgaard is full professor of helio- and asteroseismology at Aarhus University, Denmark. Don Kurtz is full professor at the University of Central Lancashire, UK.
Their collective expertise encompasses all aspects of asteroseismology. All three authors are experienced lecturers and participate in numerous scientific committees. Their research teams enjoy international recognition and are heavily involved in various ground-based and satellite projects on asteroseismology.
Klappentext
The recent research domain of asteroseismology studies the internal structure of stars, which is not directly observable, through the interpretation of the frequency spectra of stellar oscillations. The basic principles of asteroseismology are very similar to those developed by earth seismologists. Stellar interiors can be probed from oscillations because different oscillation modes penetrate to different depths inside the star. Asteroseismology is the only available method to derive the internal structure of the stars with high precision. This book the first on asteroseismology offers a practical guide for graduate students and scientists working in stellar astrophysics. It provides a general introduction to asteroseismology and comprehensive coverage of all its aspects: fundamental theory, observations and observational techniques, methodology of data analysis and seismic interpretations of various classes of multi-periodic pulsating stars.
