Can anyone make recommendations for Astrophysics ?
- MrsPeaches 8y agoAdmittedly more of an Astronomy text book but a great starting point is Universe by Freedman and Kaufmann. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/705558.Universe https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/705558.Universe
- drjesusphd 8y agoI remember Carroll's Modern Astrophysics being very good. It's quantitative, so it helps to have some physics background.
- rasmi 8y agoAn Introduction to Modern Astrophysics by Carroll & Ostlie is the Bible, but it is quite large physically and in scope and better serves as a reference for most people. For various topics, I would look at: Introduction to Cosmology by Ryden for cosmology at the undergraduate level. Cosmology by Weinberg. The Exoplanet Handbook by Perryman. An Introduction to Modern Stellar Astrophysics by Carroll & Ostlie. Particle Astrophysics by Perkins. Modern Statistical Methods for Astronomy by Feigelson. Statistics, Data Mining, and Machine Learning in Astronomy by Ivezic. I can post more in other topics if anyone is interested.
