Astronomers learn much of what they know about the mass, brightness, and size of stars by observing binary systems, in which two stars orbit each other, periodically cutting off the others light. This book provides astronomers with a guide to specifying an astrophysical model for a set of observations, selecting an algorithm to determine the parameters of the model, and estimating the errors of the parameters.

IAU C196 coincided with the 8 June 2004 transit of Venus, producing the exciting, eclectic mix that can be found in these proceedings: the amazing history of the English North-country astronomers of the seventeenth century; the AU at a precision of 1.4 m; the explanation for the infamous black drop effect; a possible Mayan observation of a transit of Venus in the thirteenth century; the vexed question of leap seconds and time scales; history, distances, parallaxes, the solar system at exquisite precision and future space missions that will revolutionise astronomy.

This book explores cataclysmic variables with and without strong, overpowering magnetic fields. You’ll read about stars with densities ranging from that of the Sun to the degenerate matter of white dwarfs to the ultra-compact states of neutron stars and black holes. One of the objects examined and discussed is the Double Pulsar, highlighting what observations have told us about fundamental physics.

The advances in technology, engineering and science are necessary for better and sustailable life. It is not only beneficial for human growth but equally important for all the living and non living matters on the planet. Hence it is imperative to come togather and share the knowledge, innovations and developments in the technology and science happening around. The objective of 1st International Conference on “Recent Advances in Science, Engineering & Technology” (ICRASET-2023) was to provide platform to share various hypotheses, conclusions, and discoveries from students, researchers, professors, and industry experts. The conference was associated with the knowledge partners like ASM International, IEEE, IETE, ISTE, CSI and IE
