The Evolution of Galaxies

Sinopsis del Libro

Galaxies have a history. This has become clear from recent sky surveys which have shown that distant galaxies, formed early in the life of the Universe, differ from the nearby ones. New observational windows at ultraviolet, infrared and millimetric wavelengths (provided by ROSAT, IRAM, IUE, IRAS, ISO) have revealed that galaxies contain a wealth of components: very hot gas, atomic hydrogen, molecules, dust, dark matter ... A significant advance is expected due to new instruments (VLT, FIRST, XMM) which will allow one to explore the most distant Universe. Three Euroconferences have been planned to punctuate this new epoch in galactic research, bringing together specialists in various fields of Astronomy. The first one, held in Granada (Spain) in May 2000, addressed the observational clues. The second one took place in October 2001 in St Denis de la Réunion (France) and reviewed the basic building blocks and small-scale processes in galaxy evolution. The third one will take place in July 2002 in Kiel (Germany) and will be devoted to the overall modelling of galaxy evolution. This book contains the proceedings of the second conference. It is suitable for researchers and PhD students in Astrophysics.

Los árboles te enseñarán a ver el bosque

La más completa y compleja, la más necesaria y hospitalaria, la más bella y generosa de las creaciones de la historia de la Vida es el bosque. Si poco, o nada, del pasado —tanto el nuestro como el de la Natura— tiene sentido sin las arboledas, menos futuro aún tendrá el futuro sin ellas. Sin embargo esta civilización ha consumado su más imprudente torpeza arrancándose de su propio origen y devastando el gran hogar de la vida, envenenando al fabricante de la transparencia que respiramos, abatiendo al creador de la fertilidad. Mantiene el autor, el emboscado Joaquín Araújo, que...

Critical Issues in Weather Modification Research

The weather on planet Earth is a vital and sometimes fatal force in human affairs. Efforts to control or reduce the harmful impacts of weather go back far in time. In this, the latest National Academies' assessment of weather modification, the committee was asked to assess the ability of current and proposed weather modification capabilities to provide beneficial impacts on water resource management and weather hazard mitigation. It examines new technologies, reviews advances in numerical modeling on the cloud and mesoscale, and considers how improvements in computer capabilities might be...
