It reports on theoretical research\nand observational data on      active galactic nuclei: The enigma\nof the nuclei of galaxies with their     central \"monster\"\ndriving the vast range of activity observed in            quasars,\nradio galaxies, Seyferts, starburst galaxies and even our\nown  Galaxy are explored in this volume. Topics covered\ninclude: the impact of   recent measurements in the infrared\nand radio region on our knowledge of thenucleus of our\nGalaxy; the spectra and classification of active             galactic\nnuclei, the properties of their host galaxies,                     their\ncosmological distribution and evolution, the role of stars\nand thehydrodynamics of the interstellar medium in the\nnuclei; the description of  the inner parsec of a standard\nactive galactic nucleus based on direct      interpretation of\nthe observations; the infrared activity of galaxies;      the\nphysics of radio galaxies and their jets, emphasizing the\nphysics ofgas flow and high-energy particle interactions as\nwell as shock             acceleration. These are all discussed in\nconsiderable depth and presented inself-contained chapters\nwith exhaustive reference lists of the              scientific\nliterature.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2014-08-23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783662139387\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/3-540-56371-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 244.0cm x170.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 240.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44481387135116,"sku":"9783662139387","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783662139387.jpg?v=1757629883","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783662139387","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
