Produktinformationen zu „Thermonuclear Reactions in Stars “
Wie wird in Sternen mithilfe von Kernreaktionen Energie freigesetzt, und wie entstehen die Elemente, aus denen Sterne, Planeten und letztlich deren Bewohner aufgebaut sind? Die Diskussion dieser Fragen, wichtigen Themen aus dem Gebiet der nuklearen Astrophysik, steht im Mittelpunkt dieses sehr informativen Bandes. Durch die sinnvolle Organisation des Stoffs fällt es dem Leser leicht, Zusammenhänge zu erkennen und intuitiv Schlussfolgerungen zu ziehen. Als Lehrbuch mit Beispielen und Übungsaufgaben ebenso tauglich wie als aktuelles Nachschlagewerk für den Forschungsalltag!
Klappentext zu „Thermonuclear Reactions in Stars “
Thermonuclear reactions in stars is a major topic in the field of nuclear astrophysics, and deals with the topics of how precisely stars generate their energy through nuclear reactions, and how these nuclear reactions create the elements the stars, planets and - ultimately - we humans consist of. The present book treats these topics in detail. It also presents the nuclear reaction and structure theory, thermonuclear reaction rate formalism and stellar nucleosythesis. The topics are discussed in a coherent way, enabling the reader to grasp their interconnections intuitively. The book serves both as a textbook, with many examples and end-of-chapter exercises, but also as a reference book for use by researchers working in the field of nuclear astrophysics.

Autoren-Porträt von Christian Iliadis
Professor Iliadis obtained his Physics diploma degree in 1989 from the University of Muenster/Germany. In 1993, he received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Notre Dame, USA, working under the supervision of Prof. Michael Wiescher. He was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Toronto before accepting the position of assistant professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) in 1996. At present, he holds the position of associate professor at UNC. He has published more than 70 research articles in refereed journals and in conference proceedings and presented about 40 invited talks to professional audiences. Professor Iliadis is a referee for a number of research journals (including Physical Review Letters, Physical Review C, Nuclear Physics A and the Astrophysical Journal) and a reviewer for the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Energy. He is a member of the American Physical Society.
