I.P. Williams : Solar and Extra-Solar Planetary Systems: Lectures Held at the Astrophysics School XI Organized by the European Astrophysics Doctoral Network (EADN) in ... September 1998 (Lecture Notes in Physics)
Product Description
Both the high level of activity in worldwide space exploration programmes and the discovery of extra-solar planets have spurred renewed interest in the physics and evolution dynamics of solar systems. The present book has grown out of a set of lectures by leading experts in the field within the framework of the well-known EADN summer schools. It addresses primarily graduate students and young researchers but will be equally useful for scientists in search of a comprehensive tutorial account that goes beyond the material found in standard textbooks.
