ASTRONOMIE, ASTROPHYSIQUE - 5E ÉDITION

⚠️ This book is written in French.

This book addresses the fundamental laws governing the states of matter and their radiation, as well as those governing the positions and movements of celestial bodies. The development of ground- and space-based observation instruments enriches our analysis with superb images and previously unseen spectra, revealing new facets of known objects and leading us to discover strange and powerful cosmic emitters (X-rays and gamma rays, gravitational waves). This helps us better understand the architecture of the Universe, the properties and history of stars (interacting with interstellar matter) and galaxies, as well as cosmic evolution and the growing complexity of matter.

This new edition is completed and extensively updated from the most recent observations, particularly those devoted to exoplanets. The terms and calculations used are simple (undergraduate level); the numerical data are drawn from recent and reliable sources.

The book is aimed in particular at third-year undergraduate (Licence 3) and Master's physics students, as well as teachers and all passionate astronomy enthusiasts. By Agnès Acker. Published by Dunod, 5th edition.
