The Interstellar Medium Hardcover - 2004 - 2005th Edition
by James Lequeux; E. Falgarone (Other); C. Ryter (Other)
First line
Just as any galaxy, our own Galaxy1, the Milky way, is a complex system of stars, gas and dust particles (see Plate 1 for a spiral galaxy seen face-on and Plate 2 for a collection of images of the Milky way at various wavelengths).
From the rear cover
Describing interstellar matter in our galaxy in all of its various forms, this book also considers the physical and chemical processes that are occurring within this matter. The first seven chapters present the various components making up the interstellar matter and detail the ways that we are able to study them. The following seven chapters are devoted to the physical, chemical and dynamical processes that control the behaviour of interstellar matter. These include the instabilities and cloud collapse processes that lead to the formation of stars. The last chapter summarizes the transformations that can occur between the different phases of the interstellar medium. Emphasizing methods over results, "The Interstellar Medium" is written for graduate students, for young astronomers, and also for any researchers who have developed an interest in the interstellar medium.
