Book Description:
|
Recent observations have shown that supernovae and gamma ray bursts are driven by strong jets of energy and other asymmetrical effects that reveal previously unknown physical properties. This volume highlights the burgeoning era of routine supernova polarimetry and the new insights into core collapse and thermonuclear explosions. With chapters by leading scientists, the book summarises the status of a rapidly developing new perspective on stellar explosions, and is a valuable resource...
