Caputo is a astronomy book and space science reference focused on Deep Sky \u0026amp; Solar System. Best for students, researchers, and serious astronomy enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scale of the universe continues to be one of the most challenging cosmological issues. These 15 papers represent a first review since the dramatic changes wrought in the field by the Hipparcos astrometric satellite and its subsequent data catalogue (viewable on a European Space Agency website). After the initial paper details this basis for calibrating distance indicators, several chapters focus on the primary indicators for stellar populations. The next set of chapters leave the Milky Way to discuss extra-galactic secondary distance indicators. Respective papers on the role of microlensing surveys and standard candles in stellar evolution theory further elucidate the cosmic mysteries. No index.
