This reference work gathers all of the latest research in the supernova field areas to create a definitive source book on supernovae, their remnants and related topics. It includes each distinct subdiscipline, including stellar types, progenitors, stellar evolution, nucleosynthesis of elements, supernova types, neutron stars and pulsars, black holes, swept up interstellar matter, cosmic rays, neutrinos from supernovae, supernova observations in different wavelengths, interstellar molecules and dust. While there is a great deal of primary and specialist literature on supernovae, with a great many scientific groups around the world focusing on the phenomenon and related subdisciplines, nothing else presents an overall survey. This handbook closes that gap at last. As a comprehensive and balanced collection that presents the current state of knowledge in the broad field of supernovae, this is to be used as a basis for further work and study by graduate students, astronomers and astrophysicists working in close/related disciplines, and established groups.             Sections: Supernovae and Supernova Remnants                          Supernovae and the Environment of the Solar System           Section: Supernovae and Supernova Remnants SECTION EDITORS           Section: Nucleosynthesis in Supernovae           Section: Stellar Remnants - Neutron Stars and Black Holes          Section: Evolution of Supernovae and the Interstellar Medium           Section: Historical Supernovae           Section: Cosmology from Supernovae           Section: Explosion Mechanisms of Supernovae          Section: Supernovae and Stellar Evolution           Section: Light Curves and Spectra of Supernovae          Section: Types of Supernovae           Sections: Neutrinos, Gravitational Waves and Cosmic Rays                          Nucleosynthesis in Supernovae           Section: Stellar Remnants - Neutron Stars and Black Holesweiterlesen
