Klappentext zu „Dynamics of Extended Celestial Bodies And Rings “
Taking both a theoretical and observational perspective, this book is an introduction to recent developments in the field of celestial mechanics. It emphasizes the application to extended celestial bodies and devotes much attention to rotational aspects. In particular, it explains the state of art for accurate modelling of the rotation of celestial bodies such as the Earth, the Moon, and Mercury, which involves principles related to hydrodynamics and geodesy. Comparisons between the light curves of the asteroids and their rotational state are made and spatial techniques leading to the determination of the Earth's gravitational field are explained. Also, the book provides a general overview of the collisional processes in the solar system and of the dynamics of the rings. It is addressed to graduate students and researchers in space sciences and celestial dynamics.

Pressezitat
From the reviews: "This book is devoted to the study of the dynamics of celestial bodies, in cases where they cannot be approximated by material points. ... this volume may serve well as a basic tutorial for the study of the title problem for extended bodies of our Solar system." (Simos Ichtiaroglou, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1109 (11), 2007)
