{"product_id":"stellar-explosions","title":"Stellar Explosions","description":"\u003cp\u003eStars are the main factories of element production in the universe through a suite of complex and intertwined physical processes. Such stellar alchemy is driven by multiple nuclear interactions that through eons have transformed the pristine, metal-poor ashes leftover by the Big Bang into a cosmos with 100 distinct chemical species. The products of stellar nucleosynthesis frequently get mixed inside stars by convective transport or through hydrodynamic instabilities, and a fraction of them is eventually ejected into the interstellar medium, thus polluting the cosmos with gas and dust. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe study of the physics of the stars and their role as nucleosynthesis factories owes much to cross-fertilization of different, somehow disconnected fields, ranging from observational astronomy, computational astrophysics, and cosmochemistry to experimental and theoretical nuclear physics. Few books have simultaneously addressed the multidisciplinary nature of this field in an engaging way suitable for students and young scientists. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProviding the required multidisciplinary background in a coherent way has been the driving force for \u003cstrong\u003eStellar Explosions: Hydrodynamics and Nucleosynthesis\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eWritten by a specialist in stellar astrophysics, this book presents a rigorous but accessible treatment of the physics of stellar explosions from a multidisciplinary perspective at the crossroads of computational astrophysics, observational astronomy, cosmochemistry, and nuclear physics. Basic concepts from all these different fields are applied to the study of classical and recurrent novae, type I and II supernovae, X-ray bursts and superbursts, and stellar mergers. The book shows how a multidisciplinary approach has been instrumental in our understanding of nucleosynthesis in stars, particularly during explosive events.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54243310698840,"sku":"9780367575151","price":63.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780367575151.jpg?v=1779340533","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/stellar-explosions","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
