Cosmochemistry - The Melting Pot of the Elements

Klappentext A timely 2004 review of developments in cosmochemistry over the last decade. Zusammenfassung This timely 2004 review of developments in cosmochemistry over the last decade is written by seven prestigious astrophysics researchers. It covers cosmological and stellar nucleosynthesis! abundance determinations in stars and ionised nebulae! chemical composition of nearby and distant galaxies! and models of chemical evolution of galaxies and intracluster medium.
