We review the quantitative science that can be and has been done with redshift and peculiar
velocity surveys of galaxies in the nearby universe. After a brief background setting the …

▪ Abstract Cosmic structure has formed as a result of gravitational amplification of primordial
density fluctuations together with the action of other physical processes (adiabatic gas …

This authoritative volume shows how modern dynamical systems theory can help us in
understanding the evolution of cosmological models. It also compares this approach with …

Kenneth Lang's classic work Astrophysical Formulae.(Vol. I and II) is now available as soft
cover edition in a set. This volume is a reference source of fundamental formulae in physics …

This is the 2nd edition of a highly successful title on thisfascinating and complex subject.
Concentrating primarily on thetheory behind the origin and the evolution of the universe …

OBSERVATIONS are providing progressively tighter constraints on cosmological models
advanced to explain the formation of large-scale structure in the Universe. These include …

Anthropic Bias explores how to reason when you suspect that your evidence is biased by"
observation selection effects"--that is, evidence that has been filtered by the precondition …

The Hubble expansion of galaxies, the 2.73 K black-body radiation background and the
cosmic abundances of the light elements argue for a hot, dense origin of the universe-the …

Radio astronomy is an active and rapidly expanding field due to advances in computing
techniques, with several important new instruments on the horizon. This text provides a …

Cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies and density fluctuations are calculated
for flat cold dark matter (CDM) models with a wide range of parameters, ie, $\Omega_0, h …
