{"product_id":"9783527336487","title":"Nuclear Physics of Stars by Christian Iliadis","description":"Most elements are synthesized, or \"cooked\", by thermonuclear reactions in stars. The newly formed  elements are released into the interstellar medium during a star's lifetime, and are subsequently  incorporated into a new generation of stars, into the planets that form around the stars, and into the life  forms that originate on the planets. Moreover, the energy we depend on for life originates from nuclear  reactions that occur at the center of the Sun. Synthesis of the elements and nuclear energy production  in stars are the topics of nuclear astrophysics, which is the subject of this book. It presents nuclear  structure and reactions, thermonuclear reaction rates, experimental nuclear methods, and nucleosynthesis  in detail. These topics are discussed in a coherent way, enabling the reader to grasp their interconnections  intuitively. The book serves both as a textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, with  worked examples and end-of-chapter excercises, but also as a reference book for use by researchers  working in the field of nuclear astrophysics.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56311022780789,"sku":"9783527336487","price":110.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9783527336487.jpg?v=1762816204","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9783527336487","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
