Stars as Laboratories for Fundamental Physics: The Astrophysics of Neutrinos, Axions, and Other Weakly Interacting Particles Paperback - 1996 - 1st Edition

by Georg G. Raffelt

From the publisher

The first extended work of its kind, Stars as Laboratories for Fundamental Physics stands at the intersection of two burgeoning fields, astrophysics and particle physics. Georg Raffelt, one of the world's leading researchers in this field, describes what the study of stars reveals about fundamental particle interactions.

Raffelt presents the many uses of stellar astrophysics for research in basic particle physics. He focuses primarily on the properties and nongravitational interactions of elementary particles. Numerous graphs and figures complement the text.

Stars as Laboratories for Fundamental Physics is a valuable reference for cosmologists, astrophysicists, and particle physicists.

From the rear cover

In this volume, Raffelt provides the first systematic review of what we know about these and other weakly interacting particles, and about gravity, from the observed properties of stars, such as neutrino fluxes measured from the Sun and supernova 1987A, and from certain astronomical x-and gamma-ray observations.
