An introduction to galaxy formation -- 2. The classical theory of gravitation -- 3. A statistical treatment of stellar systems -- 4. Understanding our Galaxy -- 5. Specific aspects of disc and elliptical galaxies -- 6. Galactic chemical enrichment -- 7. The growth of density fluctuations -- 8. Smaller stellar systems: Stellar clusters -- 9. Larger stellar systems: Galaxy clusters.Galaxies, along with their underlying dark matter halos, constitute the building blocks of structure in the Universe. Of all fundamental forces, gravity is the dominant one that drives the evolution of structures from small density seeds at early times to the galaxies we see today. The interactions among myriads of stars, or dark matter particles, in a gravitating structure produce a system with fascinating connotations to thermodynamics, with some analogies and some fundamental differences. Ignacio Ferreras presents a concise introduction to extragalactic astrophysics, with emphasis on stellar dynamics, and the growth of density fluctuations in an expanding Universe. Additional chapters are devoted to smaller systems (stellar clusters) and larger ones (galaxy clusters). Fundamentals of Galaxy Dynamics, Formation and Evolution is written for advanced undergraduates and beginning postgraduate students, providing a useful tool to get up to speed in a starting research career. Some of the derivations for the most important results are presented in detail to enable students appreciate the beauty of maths as a tool to understand the workings of galaxies. Each chapter includes a set of problems to help the student advance with the material.GalaxiesEvolutionGalaxiesFormationGalaxiesEvolution.GalaxiesFormation.523.112Ferreras Ignacio862445NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910669802903321Fundamentals of Galaxy Dynamics, Formation and Evolution1925165UNINA03267nam 2200625 450 991078664250332120230803203156.01-937584-15-1(CKB)3710000000138525(EBL)1712159(SSID)ssj0001690691(PQKBManifestationID)16540113(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001690691(PQKBWorkID)15051324(PQKB)25079729(MiAaPQ)EBC1712159(Au-PeEL)EBL1712159(OCoLC)881571283(EXLCZ)99371000000013852520220517d2014 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrThe 15-ounce pound big pharma's plan to patent pot /Joseph R.

It examines how the Amsterdam scene has been transformed; how home growers have been manipulated into using inferior techniques; and how companies, with help from the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and "big pharma," are patenting cannabis strains for control and profit.
