Astrophysical Recipes: The art of AMUSE delves into the ways in which computational science and astrophysics are connected, and how the bridge between observation and theory are understood. Focusing on the use of the Astronomical Multipurpose Software Environment (AMUSE), which is a general-purpose simulation environment in astrophysics, written in Python, this text explores aspects of astrophysical phenomena, such as gravitational dynamics, stellar evolution, hydrodynamics, and radiative transport to help increased understanding of these observations and theories. It gives explanations, examples and exercises that will enable you to set up initial conditions and then to design and develop a simulated environment that addresses numerous astrophysical questions. Aimed at master's students, graduate students and researchers, it encourages a hands-on approach that includes practicing, rewriting and solving problems of astronomical phenomena, and it encourages you to develop and publish your own scripts"--Back cover |
