Astrophysics: Decoding the Cosmos is an accessible
introduction to the key principles and theories underlying
astrophysics.
This text takes a close look at the radiation and particles that
we receive from astronomical objects, providing a thorough
understanding of what this tells us, drawing the information
together using examples to illustrate the process of astrophysics.
Chapters dedicated to objects showing complex processes are written
in an accessible manner and pull relevant background information
together to put the subject firmly into context.
The intention of the author is that the book will be a
‘tool chest’ for undergraduate astronomers wanting to
know the how of astrophysics. Students will gain a thorough
grasp of the key principles, ensuring that this often-difficult
subject becomes more accessible.
