Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Anywhere in the Universe, gas that is sufficiently dense will form a range of molecules. Emissions from these molecules - often in the radio régime - excited by collisions can be detected in many locations in our Galaxy and in external galaxies, including some of the most distant objects in the Universe. Astronomers use the information contained in the detected radiation to infer the conditions in the emitting region, and so are able to investigate the processes occurring in, for example, star forming regions, circumstellar matter, active galactic nuclei, and the early Universe.
MoreLong description:
This book provides a comprehensive survey of modern molecular astrophysics. It includes an introduction to molecular spectroscopy and then addresses the main areas of current molecular astrophysics, including galaxy formation, star forming regions, mass loss from young as well as highly evolved stars and supernovae, starburst galaxies plus the tori and discs near the central engines of active galactic nuclei. All chapters have been written by invited authors who are acknowledged experts in their fields. The thorough editorial process has ensured a uniformly high standard of exposition and a coherent style. The book is unique in giving a detailed view of its wide-ranging subject. It will provide the standard introduction for research students in molecular astrophysics. The book will be read by research astronomers and astrophysicists who wish to broaden the basis of their knowledge or are moving their activities into this burgeoning field. It will enable chemists to learn the astrophysics most related to chemistry as well as instruct physicists about the molecular processes most important in astronomy.
"The editors have gathered a galaxy of talent to cover the area..."
