在這本書(shū)中,作者將研究行星狀星云是什么,它們從哪里來(lái),又將去向哪里。作者將討論是什么機(jī)制導(dǎo)致了這些恒星消亡的美麗標(biāo)記,以及是什么導(dǎo)致它們形成了各種各樣的形狀。作者還將探討如何測(cè)量行星狀星云的各個(gè)方面,例如其組成。盡管作者將對(duì)行星狀星云進(jìn)行某些方面的數(shù)學(xué)處理,但主要觀點(diǎn)應(yīng)該是那些只有有限的數(shù)學(xué)背景的讓人容易理解的內(nèi)容。本書(shū)的結(jié)尾部分附有一些簡(jiǎn)短的詞匯表,在每章的末尾都包含了一個(gè)廣泛的參考書(shū)目,作者特別鼓勵(lì)有興趣的讀者更深入地了解這些文章。杰森·J.西山,Jason Nishiyama is a Sessional Lecturer with the University ofLethbridge Calgary Campus and is the director of the RASCCalgary Centre& # x27;s Wilson Coulee Observatory.
