Cosmic Explosions in Three Dimensions: Asymmetries in Supernovae and Gamma-Ray Bursts - Cambridge Contemporary Astrophysics
J. Craig Wheeler-Peter Hoeflich-Pawan Kumar
Supernovae and gamma-ray bursts are the strongest explosions in the Universe. Observations show that, rather than being symmetrical, they are driven by strong jets of energy and other asymmetrical effects. This volume marks the transition to a fresh paradigm in the study of stellar explosions.
