Theoretical astrophysics by thanu padmanabhan pdf

An interview of Padmanabhan by George Musser about his work can be found here .
In the earlier part of Padmanabhan's career (1980–2001)
He made important contributions to quantum cosmology
structure formation in the universe and statistical mechanics of gravitating systems.

Course of Theoretical Astrophysics Graduate students and researchers in astrophysics and cosmology need a solid under- standing of a wide range of physical processes.
This clear and authoritative textbook has been designed to help them to develop the necessary toolkit of theory.

Professor Padmanabhan has also written more than 100 popular science articles
A comic strip serial
And several regular columns on astronomy
Recreational mathematics
And history of science that have appeared in international journals and papers.
He is married
Has one daughter
And lives in Pune

Theoretical astrophysics is a curious discipline, more like a classification than a unified field of study

A “theoretical astrophysicist” might study the dynamics of planetary rings, or the microphysics of interstellar dust, or the formation of stars, or the evolution of the universe

Thanu Padmanabhan, an eminent astrophysics theorist at the Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics in Pune, India, attempts to bring all of theoretical astrophysics under a single tent in a projected three-book series titled Theoretical Astrophysics

The three volumes form one single coherent unit of study, using which a student can acquire mastery over all the traditional astrophysical topics

What is more, these volumes will emphasise the unity of concepts and techniques in different branches of astrophysics
