DESCRIPTION:
The book covers all aspects, ranging from the observations of SNe Ia at all stages and all wavelengths to the 2D and 3D modelling of thermonuclear flames in very dense plasmas. The book reflects the recent and very significant progress made in both the modelling of the explosions and in the observational field.. Scenarios for close binary evolution leading to SNe Ia are discussed. diversity of SNe Ia and on their use as standard candles to measure cosmological parameters. Particular emphasis is placed on the homogeneity vs. All theoretical and observational topics relevant to the understanding of the thermonuclear (Type Ia) supernova phenomenon are thoroughly and consistently reviewed by a panel including the foremost experts in the field
Needed it for class, used it beyond Priciest book I ever needed to buy, but it was well worth it. I split it with my project group, and I recommend you do the same.
