  abstract: Encyclopedia of Astrophysics, Five Volume Set is a brand new, up to date reference work consisting of 153 chapters, headed up by an editorial board of world-leading astrophysicists. It provides a first point of entry to the literature for all graduate/post-graduate students and early career-researchers working in and studying physics, especially those with an interest in astrophysics and cosmology. It is indispensable to all serious readers in the interdisciplinary areas where astrophysics is of utility. With a clear and logical template binding all chapters, content is divided into the following five sections, each of which contains chapters written by leading scientists who have evaluated and summarized the most important data published within the field: Cosmology: including Big Bang, dark matter, dark energy, Hubble's law, cosmic microwave background, distance ladder, BAO, lensing, tests of general relativity Galaxies: including morphology, galaxy zoo, active galactic nuclei, star formation / feedback / quenching, blue & red peaks and green valley, galactic chemical evolution, galaxy groups & clusters, young stellar / globular / nuclear clusters & dynamics, inter-stellar medium Stars: including star formation, stellar evolution, the Sun as a star, asteroseismology, stellar rotation, stellar winds, binary interactions (tides, mass transfer, common envelopes, luminous red novae...), chemical abundance, evolution Compact objects: including white dwarfs, neutron stars (pulsars), black holes, supernovae (type IA vs core-collapse), accretion, Eddington limit, X-ray binaries, supermassive black holes, tidal disruption events, mergers: gamma ray bursts, kilonovae, gravitational waves (Exo)planets: including formation, Solar system, comets / meteors, dynamics, stability, exoplanet observations (radial velocity, transits) Advanced interactive features such as videos and 3D viewers are included, significantly increasing the practicality and learning outcomes for the modern-…
