Zusatztext "[G]raduate students or senior undergraduates will find The First Galaxies in the Universe a thorough introduction to the topic. Interested professionals will find it a helpful entry point to the specialist literature on one of the most exciting frontiers in astrophysics." ---Jason Tumlinson! Physics Today Informationen zum Autor Abraham Loeb & Steven R. Furlanetto Klappentext "Loeb and Furlanetto are highly respected theorists with international reputations, and together they make a perfect team. They have picked a timely moment to introduce this frontier topic to graduate students with a carefully crafted text such as this one. The First Galaxies in the Universe is self-contained, admirably complete, and remarkably up to date." --Richard Ellis, California Institute of Technology "Loeb and Furlanetto have produced a marvelous text. The coverage is comprehensive, the selection of figures and illustrations is very judicious, and whenever key concepts are introduced, the authors explain them using simplified back-of-the-envelope derivations. The First Galaxies in the Universe will be peerless for quite a while, and will inspire young people to enter this exciting field at a time when the pace of discovery is heating up." --Volker Bromm, University of Texas, Austin "Loeb and Furlanetto, highly respected experts in the field, have written an up-to-date book that explores the early stages of the universe from the big bang through the formation of the first stars and galaxies."--Choice Zusammenfassung Suitable for students and researchers on early galaxies, this title offers an introduction to frontiers in astrophysics: the quest to understand how the oldest and most distant galaxies in our universe first formed. It bridges the gap between theory and observation. Inhaltsverzeichnis 22699245
