Galaxies in Turmoil

The Active and Starburst Galaxies and the Black Holes That Drive Them

C. R. Kitchin

978-1-84628-671-1

2007
Edition 1
- Accessible to amateur astronomers who do not have a formal background in physics and math
- Makes sense of the chaotic and apparently innumerable types of violently active galaxy
- Shows how many of the apparently very different phenomena seen in deep space arise from a single cause
- Explains how huge jets of material travelling at close to the speed of light can develop near black holes where normal expectations would be that material would be sucked into the hole - and shows why we sometimes see those jets travelling (apparently) faster than light
- Provides the data and teaches the skills needed for users of small telescopes to observe and image some of these 'galaxies in turmoil' for themselves
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
