Hubble

A New Window to the Universe

By: Daniel Fischer,Hilmar Duerbeck

At last, a book presenting the fantastic achievements of the first five years of the Hubble Space Telescope observations! While a number of books for the general public emphasise the technological accomplishments of this multi-billion dollar project or deal with the well-publicised flaw in the telescopes optics, this ground-breaking book concentrates on its astronomical success. The authors use results and spectacular images from Hubble itself to illustrate a wide range of astronomical topics, from the great questions about the universe as a whole, to quasars and black holes, and from the life and death of stars to our planetary neighbours in the solar system. The book is rounded off with an overview of the plans for the future of this fascinating telescope. The text contains a large number of spectacular images, as well as self-contained portraits of astronomers and explanations of astronomical topics and instruments. Written in a lively style, this compendium serves as a testament to the significant role the Hubble has played in astronomical accomplishment and discovery over the past five years.

Hubble Revisited

New Images from the Discovery Machine

By: Daniel Fischer,Hilmar Duerbeck

Arguably the single most successful scientific instrument ever built, the Hubble Space Telescope continues to dazzle us. In recent months it has been at the front lines of all the most pressing questions in astrophysics. What is the age of the Universe? How are stars born? Are extrasolar planets similar to those in our galaxy? In Hubble Revisited: New Images from the Discovery Machine, the authors of the highly acclaimed Hubble: A New Window to the Universe present a new atlas of the latest full-color images, complete with easy-to-read explanatory text. This book provides readers with an exciting, detailed, and gorgeously illustrated account of Hubbles breathtaking new discoveries.

A Reference Catalogue and Atlas of Galactic Novae

By: Hilmar W. Duerbeck

4. Census of the Catalogue The catalogue contains information on 277 objects. 137 (50%) of them are stars whose outburst spectra or unambiguous mInImUm characteristics classify them as novae beyond doubt. 123 of them could be identified at minimum. 78 (28 %) are stars with amplitudes and light curve forms which makes nova classifi cation likely. 60 of them could be identified at minimum. Thus, 78 % ofthe objects in this catalogue are confirmed and suspected classical novae. 16 (6%) have properties compatible with both novae and related objects. 15 are identified at minimum. Furthermore, the catalogue and atlas contains data on 12 (4 %) dwarf novae of long cycle length or suspected dwarf novae for which only one outburst has been observed. Examples are WZ Sge and CI Gern. 6 (2%) recurrent novae or suspected recurrent novae are listed. Examples are T CrB and AS Psc. 6 (2%) X-ray novae are listed. Examples are V616 Mon and KY TrA. 6 (2%) symbiotic stars and symbiotic novae are listed. Examples are RT Ser and V352 Aql. 11 (4 %) Mira stars or suspected Mira stars, which at some time were believed to be novae, are listed. Examples are V607 Aql and V927 Sgr.

Hubble Renewed

New Tools, New Science, New Vistas

By: Daniel Fischer,Hilmar Duerbeck

The new views are staggering, the new science is mind-boggling. Colliding galaxies, stars being born and expiring, black holes with matter and antimatter annihilating each other: the newest images from the revitalized Hubble Space Telescope are a feast for the eye, intellect, and imagination.
