Starburst regions in nearby and distant galaxies have a profound
impact on our understanding of the early universe. This new,
substantially updated and extended edition of Norbert Schulz's
unique book "From Dust to Stars" describes complex physical
processes involved in the creation and early evolution of stars. It
illustrates how these processes reveal themselves from radio
wavelengths to high energy X-rays and gamma-rays, with special
reference towards high energy signatures. Several sections devoted
to key analysis techniques demonstrate how modern research in this
field is pursued and new chapters are introduced on massive star
formation, proto-planetary disks and observations of young
exoplanets. Recent advances and contemporary research on the theory
of star formation are explained, as are new observations,
specifically from the three great observatories of the Spitzer
Space Telescope, the Hubble Space Telescope and the Chandra X-Ray
Observatory which all now operate at the same time and make high
resolution space based observing in its prime. As indicated by the
new title two new chapters have been included on proto-planetary
disks and young exoplanets. Many more colour images illustrate
attractive old and new topics that have evolved in recent years.
The author gives updates in theory, fragmentation, dust, and
circumstellar disks and emphasizes and strengthens the targeting of
graduate students and young researchers, focusing more on
computational approaches in this edition.
