The field of astrophysics is in the midst of a technologically
driven renaissance, as fundamental discoveries are being made with
astonishing frequency. In the last decade, new detectors in space,
on earth, and deep underground have, when coupled with the
computational power of modern computers, revolutionized our
knowledge and understanding of the astronomical world. This is a
great time for a student of any age to become acquainted with the
remarkable universe in which we live. This volume is a collection
of essays, originally presented orally to a diverse group of
students and professionals, which reveal the most fertile areas for
future study of astronomy and astrophysics. The emphasis of this
work is on the clear description of the current state of our
knowledge as a preparation for the future unraveling of the
mysteries of the universe that appear today as most fundamental and
most amenable to solution.
A stellar group of astronomers and astrophysicists describes the
directions and styles of work that they think are most likely to
lead to progress. Bibliographical notes at the end of each
presentation provide guidance for the reader who wishes to go more
deeply into a given subject. "Unsolved Problems in Astrophysics" is
a uniquely stimulating introduction to some of the most important
topics in modern astrophysics.
