Summary:
Thoroughly revised and expanded throughout, the new edition is a graduate-level text and reference book on gaseous nebulae, nova and supernova remnants. Much of the new data and new images are from the Hubble Space Telescope with two wholly new chapters being added along with other new features. The previous edition which was tried and tested for thirty years has now been succeeded by a revised, updated, larger edition, which will be valuable to anyone seriously interested in astrophysics.

Boo, Osterbrock.
 Customer Rating:  Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2
This text is poorly written and unclear. It fails to define variables, sometimes, and contains a few typos. It is also the only text to learn this stuff. It's a "must be done."

Very good treatment of Plasma ionization
 Customer Rating:  Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3
This book is an update of a classic from the 70's with material on galactic centers added. It is just good physical astronomy and has the spectroscopic concepts for observations of very distant objects.
The diagrams are updated from the older version as well.
More extensive indexes and other new material make it also a good long term reference book.

I could never get into this book.

Perhaps it was just the professor, but I could never get into this book. I think its hopelessly boring, and like alot of graduate textbooks in astro, it has a TERRIBLE index. You can't find anything you need in terms of numbers or equations with the index, you must read the book cover to cover to know where something is.

It also has way too many numbers scattered in tables, and you must read the chapter to know what assumptions were made when he calculated those numbers. Our entire class had such a difficult time with homework using this book that I doubt any of us would give a good review of the book.

My own research is in AGN, and for the most part he does OK in explaining them but he can confuse you in comparing them.

Para mi la astonomia no tenia sentido, hasta que conoci al Osterbrock. El, cambio mi vida. Desde ese momento no me desprendo de las NP.
