Title Observational Astrophysics Author(s) Lena, Pierre;Lebrun, Francois;Mignard, Francois Publication Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 1998. Description XV, 512 p : online resource Abstract Note Written specifically for physicists and graduate students in astronomy, this textbook focuses on astronomical observation and on the basic physical principles that astronomers use to conceive, build and exploit their instruments at their ultimate limits in sensitivity or resolution. This second edition has been entirely restructured and almost doubled in size, in order to improve its clarity and to account for the great progress achieved in the last 15 years. It deals with ground-based and space-based astronomy and their respective fields. It presents the new generation of giant ground-based telescopes, with the new methods of optical interferometry and adaptive optics, and also the ambitious concepts behind planned space missions for the next decades. Avoiding particulars, it covers the whole of the electromagnetic spectrum, and touches upon the "new astronomies" becoming possible with gravitational waves and neutrinos ISBN,Price 9783662036853 Keyword(s) 1.
