Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Stellar mass loss is an essential part of the cycling of material from the interstellar medium into stars and back, and must be understood if we are to model processes on galactic to cosmological scales. The study of stellar winds and the effects of stellar mass loss has reached a particularly exciting stage where observational capabilities are increasingly able to provide interesting constraints on models and theories. Recent resu1ts from theoretical and observational work for both hot and cool stars with substantial winds have led to the suggestion that a combination of pulsation with other mechanisms makes for particularly efficient mass loss from stars. This provided the original motivation for the organization of this workshop. The conference was organized along relatively conventional lines according to the types of objects being scrutinized. However the true unity of the proceedings comes from the interplay of the mechanisms involved. For example, for the cool, luminous Mira variables, pulsation leads to shock waves that extend the atmosphere, enhancing dust formation; radiation pressure on dust drives the wind, cooling the atmosphere and in some cases suppressing the shocks. Similarly for the Be stars, both pulsation (in this case, non-radial) and radiation pressure (due to UV resonance lines) are expected to be important, and this expectation is at least qualitatively borne out by the observations.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Fundamental unsolved problems of stellar astrophysics include the effects of angular momentum on stellar structure and evolution, the nature and efficiency of the processes by which angular momentum is redistributed within and lost from stars, and the role that stellar rotation plays in enhancing or driving stellar mass loss. There appears to be a qualitative change in the nature and efficiency of these mechanisms near spectral type FO: hotter (more massive) stars typically retain more angular momentum at least until they reach the main sequence, while cooler stars typically spin down quickly. For the hotter stars, recent work suggests a strong link between the type of pulsation behavior, the mass loss rates, and the rotation velocity. If the same mechanisms are able to drive mass loss from the main sequence A stars, as has recently been proposed, then the current interpretations of a number of observations will be drastically affected: e. g. the ages of clusters may be incorrect by up to a factor of two, and the surface abundances of isotopes of He, Li and Be may no longer give constraints on cosmological nucleosynthesis. There are also effects on the evolution of the abundances of elements in the interstellar medium and on the general evolution of populations of stars. Thus the questions of the mechanisms of angular momentum and mass loss of stars more massive than the sun is important not only for stellar studies but for the foundations of much of modern astrophysics.…

Hard Cover. Mis-matched 3 volume set. Vol.I, black boards with gilt titling to spine. Second edition with corrected plates (1838), xviii, 66 ppgs. 75 plates. likely rebound early 20th century, showing wear at the spine ends, corners and spine edges, almost no internal foxing. Vol.II, black boards with paper spine label. (1836), xix, 67 ppgs. 72 plates. Printed for the executors of the late Augustus Pugin, and Augustus Welby Pugin, and sold by Thos. L. Walker, Architect, one of the executors. Original binding, showing wear at the spine ends, edges and corners, worn paper label on spine. Binding cracked , but holding. Occasional small spots of foxing throughout. Vol.III, black boards with gilt spine titling. (1836) vii, consisting of 3 parts (also likely early 20th century rebind): Part 1 - The History And Antiquities Of The Vicar's Close, Wells, Somersetshire (27 ppgs.), Part 2 - The History And Antiquities Of The Manor House And Church At Great Chalfield, Wiltshire (1837) (26 ppgs.), Part 3 - The History And Antiquities Of The Manor House, At South Wraxhall, and The Church Of Saint Peter, At Biddlestone, Wiltshire. Also present at the end of this volume is Appendix, No. I - Pedigree Of Long, Of South Wraxall and Draycot, &c. County Wilts, etc.- (this appendix originally folded out and then up and is now in two sections). This volume shows very light wear at the spine ends and corners. Taken on the whole, vol.1 is VG-, vol.2 is Good, vol.3 is VG. Additionally, vol. 2 has a stamp on the inner front cover identifying it as the property of "Abram Garfield, Architect", son of President Garfield and a prominent Cleveland architect for many years. Vol. 1 also has a stamp on the inner front cover identifying it as the property of "Garfield, Harris, Robinson & Schafer, Arch.", a later notable Cleveland architectural firm, of which Abram Garfield was a partner. This set of books was the preeminent reference for gothic architecture well into the twentieth century and is still reprinted to this day on CD. A rare and handsome set with incredible plates. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.…
