For this very reason, progress of modern astrophysics requires access to the electromagnetic spectrum in the broadest energy range. The Ultraviolet is a fundamental energy domain since it is one of the most powerful tools to study plasmas at temperatures in the 3,000-300,000 K range as well as electronic transitions of the most abundant molecules in the Universe. Moreover, the UV radiation field is a powerful astrochemical and photoionizing agent.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book describes the fundamental problems in modern astrophysics that cannot progress without easy and wide-spread access to modern UV instrumentation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47658145054871,"sku":"9781402048388","price":7345.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781402048388.webp?v=1775817324","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/fundamental-questions-in-astrophysics-guidelines-for-future-uv-observatories-9781402048388","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
