{"product_id":"nuclear-physics-of-stars","title":"Nuclear Physics of Stars","description":"Most elements are synthesized, or \"cooked\", by thermonuclear reactions in stars. The newly formed \u003cbr\u003e elements are released into the interstellar medium during a star's lifetime, and are subsequently \u003cbr\u003e incorporated into a new generation of stars, into the planets that form around the stars, and into the life \u003cbr\u003e forms that originate on the planets. Moreover, the energy we depend on for life originates from nuclear \u003cbr\u003e reactions that occur at the center of the Sun. Synthesis of the elements and nuclear energy production \u003cbr\u003e in stars are the topics of nuclear astrophysics, which is the subject of this book. It presents nuclear \u003cbr\u003e structure and reactions, thermonuclear reaction rates, experimental nuclear methods, and nucleosynthesis \u003cbr\u003e in detail. These topics are discussed in a coherent way, enabling the reader to grasp their interconnections \u003cbr\u003e intuitively. The book serves both as a textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, with \u003cbr\u003e worked examples and end-of-chapter excercises, but also as a reference book for use by researchers \u003cbr\u003e working in the field of nuclear astrophysics.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54231898456408,"sku":"9783527336487","price":124.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9783527336487.jpg?v=1778544940","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/nuclear-physics-of-stars","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
