At one time we thought all these stars followed similar evolutionary paths. However, new discoveries have shown that things are not quite that simple. This book focuses on the extreme the most intense, brilliant and peculiar of astronomical explosions. It features highly significant observational finds that push the frontiers of astronomy and astrophysics, particularly as before these objects were only predicted in theory. This book is for those who want the latest information and ideas about the most dramatic and unusual explosions detected by current supernova searches. It examines and explains cataclysmic and unusual events in stellar astrophysics and presents them in a non-mathematical but highly detailed way that non-professionals can understand and enjoy. 000696761 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed September 9, 2013). 000696761 650_0 $$aSupernovae. 000696761 650_0 $$aStars$$xEvolution. 000696761 830_0 $$aAstronomers' universe,$$x1614-659X 000696761 85280 $$bebk$$hSpringerLink 000696761 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4614-8136-2$$zOnline Access 000696761 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:696761$$pGLOBAL_SET 000696761 980__ $$aEBOOK 000696761 980__ $$aBIB 000696761 982__ $$aEbook 000696761 983__ $$aOnline 000696761 994__ $$a92$$bISE
