AI Thread Summary
There has been no update to CW Allen's Astrophysical Quantities since Cox's 1999 edition, which is the most recent version available. The discussion highlights the need for a reference text that includes updated astrophysical and cosmological data, particularly regarding confirmed exoplanets, which were not documented in the 1999 edition. Participants express a desire for more current statistical data in astronomy and astrophysics. The search for a more recent edition that encompasses these advancements remains ongoing. Access to updated information on exoplanets is crucial for current research in the field.

I'm looking for a reference text for astronomy and astrophysics that provides astrophysical and cosmological data since Cox's 1999 update to CW Allen's Astrophysical Quantities. Among other reasons, I'm hoping for statistical data on confirmed exoplanets, which did not exist in 1999.

The most recent edition I've found is Cox's 1999 update to CW Allen's Astrophysical Quantities. I'd like to find, and to buy, a more recent edition that contains, among other things, information on the several thousand confirmed exoplanets.
 
TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'
This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
Both have short pulses of emission and a wide spectral bandwidth, covering a wide variety of frequencies: "Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are detected over a wide range of radio frequencies, including frequencies around 1400 MHz, but have also been detected at lower frequencies, particularly in the 400–800 MHz range. Russian astronomers recently detected a powerful burst at 111 MHz, expanding our understanding of the FRB range. Frequency Ranges: 1400 MHz: Many of the known FRBs have been detected...
