Understanding the formation of objects at all scales in the
universe, from galaxy clusters to stars and planets, is a major
problem in modern astrophysics, and one of the most exciting
challenges of twenty-first century astronomy. Even though they are
characterized by different scales, the formation of planets, stars
and galaxies share many common physical processes and are rooted in
the same underlying domains of physics. This unique reference for
graduate students and researchers in astrophysics was the first to
cover structure formation on various scales in one volume. This
book gathers together extensive reviews written by world experts in
physics and astrophysics working in planet, star and galaxy
formation, and related subjects. It addresses current issues in
these fields and describes the recent observational status and
theoretical and numerical methods aimed at understanding these
problems.
