PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Sylvain Chaty is Professor of Astrophysics at the AIM Astrophysics Institute, University of Paris, France. He obtained his PhD in Astrophysics and Space Science in 1998 at the Univ. Paris Saclay, on “Multi-wavelength Study of Galactic high-energy binary sources”. His Habilitation thesis in 2007 was entitled “From microquasars to enshrouded binary systems: the Universe of extreme sources”. He is an Elected member of Science Faculty Council of University of Paris, is a member of the LIGO-Virgo collaboration, and has organised numerous workshops on binary systems. He has 332 research publications, ~8700 citations and an H-index of 47.
Professor Sylvain Chaty of the Université Paris Cité presents here the fruits of 29 years of attraction to accreting binaries, though the book is dedicated to all the stars in the Universe, even the single ones. It is a volume of the future, with each of the nine chapters nearly self-contained and ending with its own lists of review articles, catalogues of objects belonging to the category discussed in the chapter, the explanation of a data base (generally a table in the chapter of all the objects of that class known at the time he was writing), and the references for that chapter. The chosen format works well for readers who are interested only in the sub-topic of the chapter and want to find the source for a particular bit of information or, perhaps, additional information on a particular item.
