Beschreibung
This book presents a collection of focused review papers on the advances in topics in modern astronomy, astrophysics, cosmology and planetary science. The chapters are written by expert members of an EU-funded ERASMUS+ program of strategic partnership between several European institutes.
The 13 reviews comprise the topics:
- Space debris, optical measurements
- Meteors, light from comets and asteroids
- Extrasolar enigmas: from disintegrating exoplanets to exo-asteroids
- Physical conditions and chemical abundances in photoionized nebulae from optical spectra
- Observational Constraints on the Common Envelope Phase
- A modern guide to quantitative spectroscopy of massive OB stars
- Explosion mechanisms of core-collapse supernovae and their observational signatures
- Low-mass and substellar eclipsing binaries in stellar clusters
- Globular cluster systems and Galaxy Formation
- Hot atmospheres of galaxies, groups, and clusters of galaxies
- The establishment of the Standard Cosmological Model through observations
- Exploiting solar visible-range observations by inversion techniques: from flows in the solar subsurface to a flaring atmosphere
- Starburst galaxies
The book is intended for the general astronomical community as well as for advanced students who could use it as a guideline, inspiration and overview for their future careers in astronomy.

“Every chapter has interesting graphics. As a ‘star person’, I particularly like the clear depiction of Roche geometry and of maximum sizes of stars at various phases in the discussion of common-envelope binaries. … The treatment of the history of each topic is, at best, spotty. And every author is eager for the next, larger telescope, detector, satellite, or computer. Most are young, at least by my standards, and so their hopes may yet be fulfilled.” (Virginia Trimble, The Observatory, Vol. 141 (1285), December, 2021)
