Cosmological Parameters --Notes --Further Reading --IndexThis book provides a comprehensive, self-contained introduction to one of the most exciting frontiers in astrophysics today: the quest to understand how the oldest and most distant galaxies in our universe first formed. Until now, most research on this question has been theoretical, but the next few years will bring about a new generation of large telescopes that promise to supply a flood of data about the infant universe during its first billion years after the big bang. This book bridges the gap between theory and observation. It is an invaluable reference for students and researchers on early galaxies. The First Galaxies in the Universe starts from basic physical principles before moving on to more advanced material. Topics include the gravitational growth of structure, the intergalactic medium, the formation and evolution of the first stars and black holes, feedback and galaxy evolution, reionization, 21-cm cosmology, and more. Provides a comprehensive introduction to this exciting frontier in astrophysics Begins from first principles Covers advanced topics such as the first stars and 21-cm cosmology Prepares students for research using the next generation of large telescopes Discusses many open questions to be explored in the coming decadePrinceton Series in AstrophysicsCosmologyGalaxiesFormationStarsFormationElectronic books.Cosmology.GalaxiesFormation.StarsFormation.523.1/12Loeb Abraham1042387Furlanetto Steven R1042388MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463164203321The first galaxies in the universe2466586UNINA01338nam 2200337Ia 450 99638693160331620221108084934.0(CKB)1000000000616616(EEBO)2240925455(OCoLC)9920508500971(EXLCZ)99100000000061661619910926d1636 uy |engurbn||||a|bb|Ar[c?]ticles to be inquired of, in the visitation of the most reverend father in God, Richard, by the providence of God, Lord Arch-bishop of Yorke, primate of England, and metropolitane[electronic resource] had in the yeere of our Lord God 1636London Printed by John Norton1636[16] pSignatures: A-B⁴.Imperfect: stained.Reproduction of original in the Bodleian Library.eebo-0014Visitations, EcclesiasticalEnglandVisitations, EcclesiasticalNeile Richard1562-1640.1010163EBLEBLWaOLNBOOK996386931603316Articles to be inquired of, in the visitation of the most reverend father in God, Richard, by the providence of God, Lord Arch-bishop of Yorke, primate of England, and metropolitane2380142UNISA
