商品描述
Planets come in many different sizes, and with many different compositions, orbiting our Sun and countless other stars. Understanding their properties and interactions requires an understanding of a diverse set of sub-fields, including orbital and atmospheric dynamics, geology, geophysics, and chemistry. This textbook provides a physics-based tour of introductory planetary science concepts for undergraduate students majoring in astronomy, planetary science, or related fields. It shows how principles and equations learned in introductory physics classes can be applied to study many aspects of planets, including dynamics, surfaces, interiors, and atmospheres. It also includes chapters on the discovery and characterization of extrasolar planets, and the physics of planet formation.
Key Features
- Covers a wide range of planetary science topics at an introductory level
- Coherently links the fields of solar system science, exoplanetary science, and planet formation
- Each chapter includes homework questions
- Includes python templates for reproducing and customizing the figures in the book
商品描述(中文翻譯)
行星有著各種不同的大小和組成，圍繞著我們的太陽以及無數其他恆星運行。理解它們的特性和相互作用需要掌握多個子領域的知識，包括軌道和大氣動力學、地質學、地球物理學和化學。本教科書為主修天文學、行星科學或相關領域的本科生提供了一個基於物理學的行星科學概念入門之旅。它展示了在入門物理課程中學到的原則和方程如何應用於研究行星的許多方面，包括動力學、表面、內部和大氣。書中還包括有關系外行星的發現和特徵描述，以及行星形成的物理學章節。
主要特點
- 涵蓋廣泛的行星科學主題，適合入門級別
- 連貫地將太陽系科學、系外行星科學和行星形成的領域聯繫起來
- 每章包括作業問題
- 包含用於重現和自定義書中圖形的 Python 模板
作者簡介
Colette Salyk is currently an astronomy professor at Vassar College, where she teaches courses in planetary science, observational astronomy, and introductory physics. Her research focuses on the chemistry of planet formation, and the role it plays in producing planetary diversity. She has performed observations of planet formation using space-based telescopes and telescopes around the world.
Kevin Lewis is currently an assistant professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Johns Hopkins University, where he teaches courses in remote sensing and the geology of the Earth and other planets. His research focuses on the geological evolution of the terrestrial planets, and in particular the climate history of Mars. He has been a science team member on several planetary missions, including the Mars Exploration Rovers, the Curiosity Mars rover, and the InSIght lander.
