'This is the definitive treatment of the phenomenology of galaxies- a clear and comprehensive volume that takes full account of the extraordinary recent advances in the field. The book supersedes the classic text 'Galactic Astronomy'(1988) that James Binney wrote with Dimetri Milalas, and compliments 'Galactic Dynamics' written by Binney and Scott Tremaine.' -Ostriker & Spergel, Editors- Princeton Series in Astrophysics The original version of this book was written in 1987 and is cited 3384 times by papers in astronomy, astrophysics and cosmology according to the Smithsonian/NASA ADS Astronomy Abstract Service. The latest edition was released in 1998. It is widely regarded, in combination with its companion volume 'Galactic Dynamics', as THE single most important text on the study of galaxies. The 1998 edition is cited by 436 papers according to the Smithsonian/NASA Abstract Service. This text is suitable to advanced undergraduates and graduate level readers. Table of Contents: 1. Galaxies: an overview 2. Astronomical Measurements 3. The properties of stars 4. Morphology of galaxies 5. Evolution of stars and stellar populations 6. Star clusters 7. The cosmic distance scale 8.

James Jeffrey Binney, FRS, FInstP (born 12 April 1950) is a British astrophysicist. He is a professor of physics at the University of Oxford and former head of the Sub-Department of Theoretical Physics as well as an Emeritus Fellow of Merton College. Binney is known principally for his work in theoretical galactic and extragalactic astrophysics, though he has made a number of contributions to areas outside of astrophysics as well.
Education and career[edit]
Binney took a first class BA in the Mathematical Tripos at the University of Cambridge in 1971, then moved to the University of Oxford, reading for a DPhil at Christ Church under Dennis Sciama, which he completed in 1975. He was a visiting scholar at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton in 1983–87 and again in the fall of 1989.[3] After holding several post-doctoral positions, including a junior research fellowship at Magdalen College, and a position at Princeton University, Binney returned to Oxford as a university lecturer and fellow and tutor in physics at Merton College in 1981. He was subsequently made ad hominem reader in theoretical physics in 1991 and professor of physics in 1996.
Binney has received a number of awards and honours for his work, including the Maxwell Prize of the Institute of Physics in 1986, the Brouwer Award of the American Astronomical Society in 2003, the Dirac Medal in 2010,[4] and the Eddington Medal in 2013.[5] He has been a fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society since 1973, and was made a Fellow of the Royal Society and a fellow of the Institute of Physics, both in 2000. He sits on the European Advisory Board of Princeton University Press.[6]
Interests[edit]
Binney's research interests have included:
- Physics of cooling flows and the processes of AGN feedback;
- Supernova disruption of galactic disk gas;
- Dynamics of galaxies, including those of the Milky Way;
- Galaxy and orbit modelling, including development of torus modelling techniques.
Publications[edit]
Binney has authored over 200 articles in peer-reviewed journals and several textbooks, including Galactic Dynamics, which has long been considered the standard work of reference in its field.
