{"product_id":"the-blue-straggler-mystery-beech-martin-9789819820085","title":"The Blue Straggler Mystery","description":"Blue stragglers are celestial misfits. They stand out from the crowd, and they require special explanation. Remarkably, for so the observations indicate, they have aged differently to similar mass 'normal' stars. First recognized as being altogether different in the early 1950s, blue stragglers have occupied the thoughts of astronomers ever since. This book looks into the mystery of blue straggler origins, and offers its readers an insight in to how astronomers measure and determine the properties of stars in general. Indeed, the book will take the reader through the basic physics and geometry that is needed to understand the essential observations and theory of stars and star clusters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Beech Martin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9819820081\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789819820085\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e World Scientific Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/02\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Beech Martin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48137203024127,"sku":"9789819820085","price":58.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_62f49c1d-e5fb-42af-a185-e135f4419ac2.jpg?v=1770167251","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-blue-straggler-mystery-beech-martin-9789819820085","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
