Celestial Mechanics and Astrodynamics: Theory and Practice de Pini Gurfil

Celestial Mechanics and Astrodynamics: Theory and Practice: Astrophysics and Space Science Library, cartea 436

Autor Pini Gurfil, P. Kenneth Seidelmann

en Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 aug 2016

This volume is designed as an introductory text and reference book for graduate students, researchers and practitioners in the fields of astronomy, astrodynamics, satellite systems, space sciences and astrophysics. The purpose of the book is to emphasize the similarities between celestial mechanics and astrodynamics, and to present recent advances in these two fields so that the reader can understand the inter-relations and mutual influences. The juxtaposition of celestial mechanics and astrodynamics is a unique approach that is expected to be a refreshing attempt to discuss both the mechanics of space flight and the dynamics of celestial objects.

“Celestial Mechanics and Astrodynamics: Theory and Practice” also presents the main challenges and future prospects for the two fields in an elaborate, comprehensive and rigorous manner. The book presents homogenous and fluent discussions of the key problems, rendering a portrayal of recent advances in the field together with some basic concepts and essential infrastructure in orbital mechanics. The text contains introductory material followed by a gradual development of ideas interweaved to yield a coherent presentation of advanced topics.

Recenzii

“I found it to be very readable and an interesting introduction to the field of astrodynamics. I think it succeeds in its intention to emphasize the similarities between celestial mechanics and astrodynamics as well as the problems involved in dealing with real data. It is well-illustrated and is supported by good reference material. … the authors are to be congratulated on generating an excellent text-book which should find its place on any astronomer’s bookshelf.” (Steve Bell, The Observatory, Vol. 137, August, 2017)

“This book combines the two disciplines in the aerospace community. … The strength of the book lies in its comprehensive illustrations of mathematics, figures and modern developments. … this book can serve as a good guide to exploring the numerical work in astrodynamics.” (Chih-Yueh Wang, Contemporary Physics, Vol. 58 (3), July, 2017)
