Solar, stellar and galactic connections between particle physics and astrophysics
The very small and the very large are intimately connected in Nature. Particle
physics and astrophysics meet in fundamental questions: the structure and
evolution of stars; their end and how this is manifested; how we think galaxies
are created from matter we have yet to discover and why we believe the most
energetic particles cannot come from the most distant universe.
During the IV Escuela Mexicana de Astrof´ısica (EMA-2005), held in the
beautiful colonial city of Morelia between 18 and 23 July 2005, we reviewed
and explored the numerous connections between astrophysics and particle
physics. The core of the school program, aimed to advanced postgraduated
students and young researchers in physics and astrophysics, was formed by
half a dozen extended lecture courses delivered by recognized experts in their
fields. The written versions of these courses became the main substance of this
book. Three review talks were devoted to the techniques and results of novel
astronomical windows of the XX and XXI centuries: radioastronomy, gammaray
astronomy and gravitational wave astronomy. This volume includes also
six short contributions, presented as single talks during the EMA-2005, examples
of experimental and theoretical research work presently conducted in
M´exico and Latin-America.
This book is the final product of a two year process centered on the EMA-
2005. We believe it will serve as a guide not just to the participants but also
to the communities of all interrelated fields.
