Astronomy and astrophysics : recent developments : proceedings of the 10th Portuguese meeting : CENTRA, Lisbon, Portugal, 27-28 July 2000

Proceedings of the 10th Portuguese Meeting: Centra, Lisbon, Portugal, 27-28 July 2000 This book discusses many of the recent theoretical and observational developments that have significant implications for astronomy and astrophysics. The main themes are (i) cosmology, (ii) gravitational wave astronomy and gravitational physics, (iii) stellar astrophysics, and (iv) active galactic nuclei and disk accretion. There are also contributions on the solar system. This volume covers recent theoretical and observational developments that have significant implications for astronomy and astrophysics. The main themes are: cosmology; gravitational wave astronomy and gravitational physics; stellar astrophysics; and active galactic nuclei and disk accretion. The Cosmological Principle was first adopted when observational cosmology was in its infancy; it was then little more than a conjecture, embodying 'Occam's razor' for the simplest possible model.
