Blowing Bubbles in the Cosmos: Astronomical Winds, Jets, and Explosions

by D.P. Ruffle, J.E. Dyson, Thomas W. Hartquist, et al.

Book Overview

Many astrophysical bodies produce winds, jets or explosions, which blow spectacular bubbles. From a nonmathematical, unifying perspective, based on the understanding of bubbles, the authors address many of the most exciting topics in modern astrophysics including supernovae, the production of structure in the Early Universe, the environments of supermassive black holes and gamma-ray bursts.
