Along with the traditional optical window, many new windows have
been opened on galaxies in the last two decades, made possible by
new developments in groundbased detectors and by space missions
that allow detection of photons that are otherwise absorbed by the
Earth's atmosphere. Galaxies can now be observed in the radio,
submillimeter, IR, optical, UV, X- and gamma-ray bands, each window
allowing us to learn more about galactic components and properties.
These developments have also imposed the view that a deeper
understanding of even normal galaxies requires a panchromatic
approach, making use of all of the data gathered from the different
windows to synthesize a comprehensive physical image of these
complex astronomical systems. Windows on Galaxies presents a
comprehensive view of galaxies through all the available windows,
bringing together both theoretical and experimental approaches in
the form of a series of reviews reporting the most recent
developments complemented by contributed talks and discussions.
TEXT NO. 2 The sixth workshop of the Advanced School of Astronomy
examined galaxies through all available wavelength windows. Over
the last twenty years, new wavelength windows have been opened in
astronomy which have created many new possibilities for the
observation of the properties of galaxies. The outcome of the
meeting clearly stated that the approach towards the studying of
galaxies should be panchromatic. Each window, from radio to
gamma-rays, shows different components, and a synthesis of this
knowledge presents astronomers with a comprehensive physical image
of these astronomical systems: star formation, evolution of
galaxies, molecular contents, gas flows, interstellar matter and
properties of galaxies in the several wavelength fields are
discussed in this volume.
This extensively illustrated book presents the astrophysics of
galaxies since their beginnings in the early Universe. It has been
thoroughly revised to take into account the most recent
observational data, and recent discoveries such as dark energy.
There are new sections on galaxy clusters, gamma ray bursts and
supermassive black holes. The authors explore the basic properties
of stars and the Milky Way before working out towards nearby
galaxies and the distant Universe. They discuss the structures of
galaxies and how galaxies have developed, and relate this to the
evolution of the Universe. The book also examines ways of observing
galaxies across the whole electromagnetic spectrum, and explores
dark matter and its gravitational pull on matter and light. This
book is self-contained and includes several homework problems with
hints. It is ideal for advanced undergraduate students in astronomy
and astrophysics.
