Galaxies can now be observed in the radio, submillimeter,  IR, optical, UV, X- and gamma-ray bands, each window allowing us to  learn more about galactic components and properties. These  developments have also imposed the view that a deeper understanding  of even normal galaxies requires a panchromatic approach, making use  of all of the data gathered from the different windows to synthesize  a comprehensive physical image of these complex astronomical systems.  \u003cem\u003eWindows on Galaxies\u003c\/em\u003e presents a comprehensive view of galaxies  through all the available windows, bringing together both theoretical  and experimental approaches in the form of a series of reviews  reporting the most recent developments complemented by contributed  talks and discussions. \u003cbr\u003e  TEXT NO. 2 \u003cbr\u003e  The sixth workshop of the Advanced School of Astronomy examined  galaxies through all available wavelength windows. Over the last  twenty years, new wavelength windows have been opened in astronomy  which have created many new possibilities for the observation of the  properties of galaxies. The outcome of the meeting clearly stated  that the approach towards the studying of galaxies should be  \u003cem\u003epanchromatic\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e  Each window, from radio to gamma-rays, shows different components,  and a synthesis of this knowledge presents astronomers with a  comprehensive physical image of these astronomical systems: star  formation, evolution of galaxies, molecular contents, gas flows,  interstellar matter and properties of galaxies in the several  wavelength fields are discussed in this volume. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2011-09-26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401067317\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-009-0543-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 400\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47661321977996,"sku":"9789401067317","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401067317.jpg?v=1776428335","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401067317","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
