With all the recent debates about CDM vs MOND etc, I decided I need some more background on astrophysics and phenomenology. I have the physics background, I prefer concise books even if they are harder.
I was considering something like this for phenomenology: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0691025657/?tag=pfamazon01-20
And the series by Padmanabhan on Theoretical Astrophysics (particularly volumes 1 and 3) and maybe something like this would be fun: https://www.cambridge.org/gr/univer...hematica-support?format=HB&isbn=9781107010741
Some people are saying the first book is a bit out of date. It's also loooong, I would probably prefer something more like a "quick overview". What is your opinion/recommendation?
