Description
This book provides a comprehensive survey of modern molecular astrophysics.
It includes an introduction to molecular spectroscopy and then addresses the main areas of current molecular astrophysics, including galaxy formation, star forming regions, mass loss from young as well as highly evolved stars and supernovae, starburst galaxies plus the tori and discs near the central engines of active galactic nuclei.
All chapters have been written by invited authors who are acknowledged experts in their fields.
The thorough editorial process has ensured a uniformly high standard of exposition and a coherent style.
The book is unique in giving a detailed view of its wide-ranging subject.
It will provide the standard introduction for research students in molecular astrophysics.
The book will be read by research astronomers and astrophysicists who wish to broaden the basis of their knowledge or are moving their activities into this burgeoning field.
It will enable chemists to learn the astrophysics most related to chemistry as well as instruct physicists about the molecular processes most important in astronomy.
