商品描述

This third edition of Malcolm Longair's highly acclaimed textbook is an up-to-date text on astrophysical cosmology expounding the structure of classical cosmological models from a contemporary viewpoint. This forms the background to a detailed study of the origin of structure and galaxies in the Universe. The derivations of many of the most important results are described using simple physical arguments which illuminate the results of more advanced treatments. A very wide range of recent observational data is brought to bear upon the problems, including the results from the Hubble Space Telescope, the Planck mission of the European Space Agency, galaxy surveys such as the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, the ALMA submillimetre observatory, studies of Type 1a supernovae and many other remarkable recent observations.

This book serves as an ideal text for graduate level courses on astrophysical cosmology and is also highly appreciated as a reference source for professional astrophysicist and cosmologists.


商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本由Malcolm Longair撰寫的廣受好評的教科書第三版，是一本關於天體物理宇宙學的最新教材，從當代的觀點闡述了經典宇宙學模型的結構。這為對宇宙中結構和星系起源的詳細研究奠定了基礎。許多最重要結果的推導使用簡單的物理論證來描述，這些論證能夠闡明更高級處理結果的意義。書中涉及了非常廣泛的近期觀測數據，包括哈勃太空望遠鏡的結果、歐洲太空局的普朗克任務、斯隆數位天空調查等星系調查、ALMA亞毫米波觀測站、1a型超新星的研究以及許多其他顯著的近期觀測結果。

這本書是天體物理宇宙學研究生課程的理想教材，也被專業天體物理學家和宇宙學家高度評價為參考資料來源。
