Название: Electronic Imaging in Astronomy: Detectors and Instrumentation, 2nd edition Автор: Ian S. McLean Издательство: Springer Год: 2010 Страниц: 552 ISBN: 3642095321 Формат: PDF Размер: 12,8 MB Язык Английский The
second edition of Electronic Imaging in Astronomy: Detectors and
Instrumentation describes the remarkable developments that have taken
place in astronomical detectors and instrumentation in recent years –
from the invention of the charge-coupled device (CCD) in 1970 to the
current era of very large telescopes, such as the Keck 10-meter
telescopes in Hawaii with their laser guide-star adaptive optics which
rival the image quality of the Hubble Space Telescope. Authored by
one of the world’s foremost experts on the design and development of
electronic imaging systems for astronomy, this book has been written on
several levels to appeal to a broad readership. Mathematical expositions
are designed to encourage a wider audience, especially among the
growing community of amateur astronomers with small telescopes with CCD
cameras. The book can be used at the college level for an introductory
course on modern astronomical detectors and instruments, and as a
supplement for a practical or laboratory class.
