Bücher der Reihe Canary Islands Winter School of Astrophysics

This 2007 volume is a balanced and varied introduction to extrasolar planets for research astronomers and graduate students. It covers a wide range of issues, from the state-of-the-art observational techniques, to the characterizations of these planets, and the techniques used in the remote detection of life.

The Local Group galaxies provide the best laboratory in which to investigate galaxy formation processes. Ideal for graduate students and early career researchers, this volume provides modules from eminent and experienced scientists at the forefront of Local Group research, who present overviews of observational techniques, diagnostic tools, and theoretical models.

Chapters from seven eminent scientists in residence at the twenty-second Canary Islands Winter School of Astrophysics provide a wide-ranging and up-to-date overview of the theoretical, experimental and analytical tools for carrying out research using asteroseismological observations, tools and inferences.

Containing lectures from the seventeenth Winter School of the Canary Islands Astrophysics Institute, this book explores 3D spectroscopy techniques and data. Simultaneously storing both spectral and spatial information, 3D spectroscopy offers a new way to tackle astrophysical problems, and opens up new lines of research.
