《天体物理学》由Dan Maoza(马泽)著,主要内容:This textbook is based
on the one-semester course "Introduction to Astrophysics," taken by
third-year physics students at Tel-Aviv University, which I taught
several times in the years 2000-2005. My objective in writing this
book is to provide an introductory astronomy text that is suited
for university students majoring in physical science fields
physics, astronomy, chemistry, engineering, etc., rather than for
a wider audience, for which many astronomy textbooks already exist.
I have tried to cover a large and representative fraction of the
main elements of modem astrophysics, including some topics at the
forefront of current research. At the same time, I have made an
effort to keep this book concise.
