Full text

Abstract:

Orbits are ubiquitous in the universe: moons orbit planets, planets orbit stars, stars orbit around the center of the Milky Way galaxy, and so on. Any theory of gravity will have to explain the properties of all these orbits. To pave the way for developing the metric theory of gravity (general relativity) this chapter examines the basics of orbits as observed and as explained by the Newtonian model of gravity. We can use our understanding of gravity to infer the masses and other properties of these cosmic systems. Te chapter concludes with four optional sections in this spirit, covering the slingshot maneuver; dark matter; binary star orbits and how they reveal the masses of stars; and extrasolar planets.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter introduces the basics of radiative transfer, which is a primary energy-transport mechanism inside stars, and also contributes to keeping stars ‘inflated’ and balanced against gravity. The roles of opacity and cross-sections in scattering photons are described. With the help of some drastic but still insightful approximations, the luminosity of a star can be related to its mass, and its surface temperature to its interior temperature. Not all types of stars are covered with analytical approximations, and only the simplest cases are studied here: the high-mass main sequence stars where radiation-pressure dominates, and the intermediate mass range that includes the Sun, where gas pressure dominates but convection is not yet important.

Full text

Abstract:

The author takes us to visit Saturn’s moon Titan, and Venus, Mars, and to the unconfirmed planet GJ581d. Although we find unearthly conditions on these bodies’ surfaces today, things were different in the past. Even now, there are oceans deep below Titan’s frozen ice shell that itself sees liquid methane rains and vast ethane-filled lakes. Venus and Mars both had liquid water long ago, while Venus may even have been comfortably warm and humid before modern complex life developed on Earth. Many potentially habitable exoplanets are likely locked in their rotation to always face their star with the same side, causing incredible differences between their day and night sides. This chapter reviews how oceans and atmospheres are lost by the Sun’s magnetism or protected by that of the planets’, how masses of carbon dioxide can be stored in solid limestone, and how habitable zones shift to and from planets.

Full text

Abstract:

Infra-red observations have been used by teams in California and Germany to measure the mass of the black hole at the centre of the Galaxy at just over 4 million times the mass of our Sun. ‘How do you weigh a black hole?’ shows that similar dynamic techniques can be used to measure the masses of the millions of black holes that pervade our Galaxy as stars and black holes are frequently found as pairs in a binary system. The smallest black hole that we can measure is a few times the mass of our Sun, but the heaviest stellar-mass black holes can exceed a hundred times the mass of our Sun.

Full text

Abstract:

Tis chapter explains the famous equation E = mc2 as part of a wider relationship between energy, mass, and momentum. We start by defning energy and momentum in the everyday sense. We then build on the stretching‐triangle picture of spacetime vectors developed in Chapter 11 to see how energy, mass, and momentum have a deep relationship that is not obvious at everyday low speeds. When momentum is zero (a mass is at rest) this energy‐momentum relation simplifes to E = mc2, which implies that mass at rest quietly stores tremendous amounts of energy. Te energymomentum relation also implies that traveling near the speed of light (e.g., to take advantage of time dilation for interstellar journeys) will require tremendous amounts of energy. Finally, we look at the simplifed form of the energy‐momentum relation when the mass is zero. Tis gives us insight into the behavior of massless particles such as the photon.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter enumerates some of the many nuclear reactions in stars. It focuses on a general principle: nuclear fusion requires overcoming the Coulomb barrier between nuclei, which is possible through the relatively infrequent process of quantum tunnelling. The tunnelling probability depends on the atomic num-bers and mass numbers of the nuclei involved, and also on their relative speed. These translate into steep and interesting temperature dependencies for nuclear reactions. Analytic approximations yield a rate that is almost vanishingly rare, yet within the incredibly large number of potential interactions within stars quantum tunnelling can still provide the underlying ignition of nuclear reactions.

Full text

Abstract:

The landscapes of exoplanets are likely to be incredibly diverse: exoplanets come in a large range of sizes and masses, and therefore surface gravities. Atmospheres can be thick layers, or absent. The interior makeup of exoplanets is even harder to know, but the formation scenarios of the giant planets and the remains of planets found in white-dwarf atmospheres provide insights. All that knowledge, combined with information on the central stars and other exoplanets within a system, provides a view of past, present, and future environments. This chapter reviews sample exoplanets and the conditions on their surfaces.

Full text

Abstract:

Some solutions of Euler’s equations are found here. The simplest are the steady flows: water flowing out of a tank at a constant rate, the Venturi and Pitot tubes. Another is the static solution of a self-gravitating fluid of variable density (e.g., a star). If the total mass is too large, such a star can collapse (Chandrasekhar limit). If the flow is both irrotational and incompressible, it must satisfy Laplace’s equation. Complex analysismethods can be used to solve for the flow past a cylinder or inside a disk with a stirrer. Joukowski used conformal transformations on the cylinder to find the lift of the wing of an airplane, in the limit of zero viscosity. Waves on the surface of a fluid are studied as another example. The speed of these waves is derived as a function of their wavelength and the depth of the fluid.

The book tells about the achievements of modern radio astronomy. Data on radio galaxies, quasars, pulsars, space masers, and other space objects emitting radio waves are presented in a popular form. The ways of evolution of stars, supernovae and radio eruptions of their remains, the formation of white dwarfs and neutron stars, the phenomena in the centers of galaxies and the fusion of galaxies responsible for the formation of radio galaxies and quasars are considered. The radio radiation of the Sun and planets is discussed. A modern view of the evolution of the universe, the origin of the relic radiation left over from the Great Eruption, and its anisotropy is presented. A separate chapter is devoted to the description of radio telescopes.

Full text

Abstract:

Hollywood makes quintessential genre films, and chapter 10 tackles the aesthetics of genre filmmaking. It demonstrates the ways in which genre eases viewers’ grasp of narrative information and offers the pleasure of returning, as experts, to familiar scenarios. The chapter also explains the ways in which genres develop novel and complex aesthetic properties that counter a culture’s growing genre expertise. To fully exploit the pleasures of genre filmmaking for a mass audience, a genre film must fit recognizably within its genre, offering easy recognition, but it must also differ enough from previous films to make it moderately challenging for average spectators. Star Wars offers an exemplary instance of Hollywood genre filmmaking: The 1977 blockbuster found the optimal area between unity and complexity, familiarity and novelty, easy recognition and cognitive challenge for a mass audience.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter focuses on Mancini's successful partnership with Blake Edwards. The rising star of Mancini also brought Edwards up in the world. Edwards' success in television more or less assured he could return to the movies with a lot more clout than he had known just a few years before at Universal. The two were a study in contrasts; on the one side, Mancini was curious and disciplined at work, deferential and ingenuous in person, and on the other, Edwards was conceptual and uncompromising in his profession, friendly and explosive and inscrutable in private. That natural clash is almost completely masked in the work they eventually did together, but it would later cause some problems in regard to Mancini's output. Mostly, though, the presence of Blake Edwards in Mancini's career had a wildly positive and prosperous effect. Their notable collaborations include Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) and The Pink Panther (1964).

Full text

Abstract:

Since the start of the nineteenth century, the processes of urban development and the development of modern sport have been dialectically linked. With critical masses of potential participants, spectators, and media, the city provided the necessary ingredients for the development of sport as a structured activity and viable enterprise. With concerns over the social and public health impacts of rapid urbanization, sport helped to shape urban growth through the development of major metropolitan parks; the creation of small parks, playgrounds, and gymnasiums; the provision of resources for recreation; and the placement of facilities for spectator sports. To better understand the dialectical relationship between sport and urbanization, this chapter focuses on two time periods: 1800–1870 and 1870–1940. The period between 1800–1870 was a time of rapid change with both cities and sport developing into their modern forms. The period between 1870–1940 evinces a more instrumental relationship between sport and the city.

Full text

Abstract:

Why did ideology come to stay as a category of political and philosophical analysis? ‘Ideology at the crossroads of theory’ shows how the illuminating ideas of a few theorists were sustained by concrete political developments. The advent of mass politics in Europe saw the consolidation of traditions of political thought such a liberalism, conservatism, and socialism. These movements and frameworks for political debate began to develop a life of their own, and these political traditions impelled individuals and groups to political action. The philosopher, Wittgenstein, played an important role in the further development of ideology.

Abstract:

This book introduces quantum field theory, together with its most important applications to cosmology and astroparticle physics, in a coherent framework. The path-integral approach is employed right from the start, and the use of Green functions and generating functionals is illustrated first in quantum mechanics and then in scalar field theory. Massless spin one and two fields are discussed on an equal footing, and gravity is presented as a gauge theory in close analogy with the Yang–Mills case. Concepts relevant to modern research such as helicity methods, effective theories, decoupling, or the stability of the electroweak vacuum are introduced. Various applications such as topological defects, dark matter, baryogenesis, processes in external gravitational fields, inflation and black holes help students to bridge the gap between undergraduate courses and the research literature.
