The Radio Galaxy Messier 87 Proceedings of a Workshop Held at Ringberg Castle, Tegernsee, Germany, 15–19 September 1997

This book gives both a comprehensive and detailed account of the current theoretical and observational investigations of the radio galaxy M87 in the Virgo cluster. A number of introductory chapters provide a general overview, which makes the book accessible also to non-specialists in the field. The...
