Stars And Space With Matlab Apps (With Companion Media Pack) : World Scientific Publishing : 9789811216350 : 9811216355 : 01 Jun 2020 : Recent advances in the understanding of star formation and evolution have been impressive and aspects of that knowledge are explored in this volume. The black hole stellar endpoints are studied and geodesic motion is explored. The emission of gravitational waves is featured due to their very recent experimental discovery. The second aspect of the text is space exploration which began 62 years ago with the Sputnik Earth satellite followed by the landing on the Moon just 50 years ago. Since then Mars has been explored remotely as well as flybys of the outer planets and probes which have escaped the solar system. The text explores many aspects of rocket travel. Finally possibilities for interstellar travel are discussed. All these topics are treated in a unified way using the Matlab App to combine text, figures, formulae and numeric input and output. In t
