COSMIC EXPLOSIONS: Tenth Astrophysics Conference

Stephen S. Holt, Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering, Needham, MA, USA


AIP Conference Proceedings 522


Conference Location and Date: College Park, MD, 11-13 October 1999

Subseries: Astronomy and Astrophysics

Published ; ISBN 1563969432 One Volume, Print; 497 pages; 6 3/8 x 9 1/4 inches;

Readership: professional astronomers and physicists; graduate students in astronomy and physics

This conference presents invited and contributed papers by international experts devoted to explosive phenomena in cosmic settings as diverse as stellar flares, X-ray bursts, jets, novae, supernovae, hypernovae, and gamma-ray bursts. The conference considered not only the origins of explosive behavior, but also information about the host systems that the explosive phenomena might yield. For example, X-ray bursts can be used to determine structural parameters of neutron stars, and specific types of supernovae can be used as standard candles to study the deceleration of the Hubble expansion.
