Spiral Structure in Galaxies

By (author) Marc S Seigar

How does it happen that billions of stars can co-operate to produce the beautiful spirals that characterize so many galaxies, including ours? This book reviews the history behind the discovery of spiral galaxies and the problems faced when trying to explain the existence of spiral structure within them. In the book, subjects such as galaxy morphology and structure are addressed as well as several models for spiral structure. The evidence in favor or against these models is discussed. The book ends by discussing how spiral structure can be used as a proxy for other properties of spiral galaxies, such as their dark-matter content and their central supermassive black-hole masses, and why this is important.

Quantum Information in Gravitational Fields

By (author) Marco Lanzagorta

Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity describes quantum information in classical gravitational fields and this book offers a concise discussion around this but also offers much more. Dr Lanzagorta looks at new results on steganographic quantum communications in inertial frames and qubits in Schwarzschild space-time and discusses examples of coupling a qubit’s spin and space-time curvature, and gravitation effects in the context of quantum communications, entanglement, EPR experiments, quantum computation and sensing.

Dark Matter in the Universe

By (author) Marc S Seigar

This book reviews the history behind the discovery of missing mass (or unseen mass) in the universe, and ties this into the proposed extensions to the Standard Model of Particle Physics (such as Supersymmetry), which were being proposed within the same time frame. It is written as an introduction to these problems at the forefront of astrophysics and particle physics, with the goal of conveying the physics of dark matter to beginning undergraduate majors in scientific fields.
