Interstellar Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon MoleculesAnnual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics - Tập 46 Số 1 - Trang 289-337 - 2008
A. G. G. M. Tielens
Large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules carry the infrared (IR)
emission features that dominate the spectra of most galactic and extragalactic
sources. This review surveys the observed mid-IR characteristics of these
emission features and summarizes laboratory and theoretical studies of the
spectral characteristics of PAHs and the derived intrinsic properties of
emitting interstellar... hiện toàn bộ
High-Mass Star and Massive Cluster Formation in the Milky WayAnnual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics - Tập 56 Số 1 - Trang 41-82 - 2018
F. Motte, Sylvain Bontemps, F. Louvet
This review examines the state-of-the-art knowledge of high-mass star and
massive cluster formation, gained from ambitious observational surveys, which
acknowledges the multiscale characteristics of these processes. After a brief
overview of theoretical models and main open issues, we present observational
searches for the evolutionary phases of high-mass star formation, first among
high-luminosit... hiện toàn bộ
Cosmology with the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich EffectAnnual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics - Tập 40 Số 1 - Trang 643-680 - 2002
J. E. Carlstrom, G. P. Holder, Erik D. Reese
▪ Abstract The Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect (SZE) provides a unique way to map the
large-scale structure of the universe as traced by massive clusters of galaxies.
As a spectral distortion of the cosmic microwave background, the SZE is
insensitive to the redshift of the galaxy cluster, making it well-suited for
studies of clusters at all redshifts, and especially at reasonably high
redshifts (z > 1)... hiện toàn bộ
The Evolution and Structure of Pulsar Wind NebulaeAnnual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics - Tập 44 Số 1 - Trang 17-47 - 2006
B. M. Gaensler, Patrick Slane
Pulsars steadily dissipate their rotational energy via relativistic winds.
Confinement of these outflows generates luminous pulsar wind nebulae, seen
across the electromagnetic spectrum in synchrotron and inverse Compton emission
and in optical emission lines when they shock the surrounding medium. These
sources act as important probes of relativistic shocks, particle acceleration,
and interstella... hiện toàn bộ

Microlensing Surveys for ExoplanetsAnnual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics - Tập 50 Số 1 - Trang 411-453 - 2012
B. Scott Gaudi
Unlike most other planet-detection techniques, gravitational microlensing does
not rely on detection of photons from either the host or the planet. Rather,
planets are discovered by their gravitational perturbation of light from a more
distant source. I review the fundamental concepts of microlensing planet
searches and discuss their practical application. I show how the strengths and
peculiaritie... hiện toàn bộ
Sources of Relativistic Jets in the GalaxyAnnual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics - Tập 37 Số 1 - Trang 409-443 - 1999
I. F. Mirabel, L. F. Rodríguez
▪ Abstract Black holes of stellar mass and neutron stars in binary systems are
first detected as hard X-ray sources using high-energy space telescopes.
Relativistic jets in some of these compact sources are found by means of
multiwavelength observations with ground-based telescopes. The X-ray emission
probes the inner accretion disk and immediate surroundings of the compact
object, whereas the sy... hiện toàn bộ

The Chemical Composition of the SunAnnual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics - Tập 47 Số 1 - Trang 481-522 - 2009
M. Asplund, N. Grevesse, A. J. Sauval, Pat Scott
The solar chemical composition is an important ingredient in our understanding
of the formation, structure, and evolution of both the Sun and our Solar System.
Furthermore, it is an essential reference standard against which the elemental
contents of other astronomical objects are compared. In this review, we evaluate
the current understanding of the solar photospheric composition. In particular,
