FIREWORKS IN A DARK UNIVERSE

Book ID/图书代码： 14600018C00017

English Summary/英文概要： This popular science book offers a glimpse into a plethora of extreme cosmic phenomena in which the theories of modern physics, particularly quantum mechanics and general relativity, play a key role. Despite their vastly different appearances, these cosmic phenomena have much in common: they are all powered by exotic stars — black holes, neutron stars and white dwarfs — collectively called compact objects.

The book describes, in accessible language, the physics underlying these phenomena, the historical background that led to their discovery, and the various observational techniques used by astronomers for their exposure. The book contains many spectacular photographs taken with modern telescopes around the world and satellites of different space agencies, as well as illustrations specially prepared by the author to enhance the reading experience.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 作者用简明易懂的文字，为读者揭示了由致密天体引发的宇宙极端现象背后蕴含的物理知识，带领读者领略天体物理这一神秘而又瑰丽的学科的魅力；*书中不仅介绍了相关的基础知识，还讲述了各种极端现象发现的历史背景，以及带来实际发现的观测手段的进步，同时配以大量由现代望远镜拍摄的天体光谱照片以及作者精心准备的图片，以进一步提高读者的阅读体验；*读者群广泛，适合所有的科学爱好者，尤其是物理学和天文学爱好者。(WS)
