Название: Planets, Stars and Stellar Systems: Volume 2: Astronomical Techniques, Software, and Data Год: 2013 Автор: Terry D. Oswalt Издательство: Springer Формат: PDF Размер: 10 Mb Страниц: 508 Язык: Английский This
is volume 2 of Planets, Stars and Stellar Systems, a six-volume
compendium of modern astronomical research, covering subjects of key
interest to the main fields of contemporary astronomy. This volume on
"Astronomical Techniques, Software, and Data” edited by Howard E. Bond
presents accessible review chapters on Astronomical Photometry,
Astronomical Spectroscopy, Infrared Astronomy Fundamentals, Astronomical
Polarimetry: Polarized Views of Stars and Planets, Sky
Surveys,Techniques of Radio Astronomy,Radio and Optical Interferometry:
Basic Observing Techniques and Data Analysis, Absolute Calibration of
Spectrophotometric Standard Stars,Virtual Observatories, Data Mining,
and Astroinformatics, Statistical Methods for Astronomy, Numerical
Techniques in Astrophysics . All chapters of the handbook were written
by practicing professionals. They include sufficient background material
and references to the current literature to allow readers to learn
enough about a specialty within astronomy, astrophysics and cosmology to
get started on their own practical research projects. In the spirit of
the series Stars and Stellar Systems published by Chicago University
Press in the 1960s and 1970s, each chapter of Planets, Stars and Stellar
Systems can stand on its own as a fundamental review of its respective
sub-discipline, and each volume can be used as a textbook or recommended
reference work for advanced undergraduate or postgraduate courses.
Advanced students and professional astronomers in their roles as both
lecturers and researchers will welcome Planets, Stars and Stellar
Systems as a comprehensive and pedagogical reference work on astronomy,
astrophysics and cosmology.
