Beschreibung

Hardcover. This work contains the proceedings of an International Astronomical Symposium devoted to the interactions between physics and dynamics in the solar system, especially with regard to the small bodies (asteroids, comets, meteors). These two topics were traditionally considered as almost independent, but their interactions are increasingly being reviewed as the key to an understanding of the formation and evolution of the solar system. For instance, the rotational dynamics of planets have a profound influence on their climate. On the other hand, a good understanding of the complicated dynamics of asteroids and the identification of families of bodies born from the break-up of a parent body may tell us much about the formation and the evolution of the solar system. All these, and several related questions are discussed in these proceedings, which should be of interest to both physicists and dynamicists. Considers the interactions between physics and dynamics in the solar system, especially with regard to the small bodies (asteroids, comets and meteors). Topics covered include asteroids; comets; artificial satellites; geodynamics; attitude dynamics; natural satellites; and dust dynamics. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
