| Title | NASA Kepler mission |
| Author(s) | Steve B. Howell |
| Publication | Bristol, Institute of Physics Publishing, 2020. |
| Abstract Note | The NASA Kepler and K2 missions have made fundamental, paradigm changing advances in essentially every area of astrophysics and planetary science. While known for their breakthrough discoveries in exoplanets—especially small rocky worlds orbiting in the Habitable Zone of their host suns—these missions have also continued to make numerous scientific advances in solar system science, stellar astrophysics and extragalactic astronomy. This book is devoted to the Kepler and K2 missions and covers the tremendous new discoveries made in the areas of spacecraft engineering, asteroseismology, binary and variable stars, stellar astrophysics, white dwarfs, asteroids and comets, active galaxies, supernovae, black holes, and of course exoplanets of all types. It is suitable for the interested layperson, pupils of science and space missions, and advanced science students and researchers wishing for an introduction and highly focused memoir of the NASA Kepler mission and its amazing accomplishments. |

| Edition | Second edition |
| Description | 1 online resource (xiv, 208 pages) : digital, PDF file(s) |
| Abstract Note | Charge-Coupled Devices (CCDs) are the state-of-the-art detector in many fields of observational science. Updated to include all of the latest developments in CCDs, this second edition of the Handbook of CCD Astronomy is a concise and accessible reference on all practical aspects of using CCDs. Starting with their electronic workings, it discusses their basic characteristics and then gives methods and examples of how to determine these values. While the book focuses on the use of CCDs in professional observational astronomy, advanced amateur astronomers, and researchers in physics, chemistry, medical imaging, and remote sensing will also find it very valuable. Tables of useful and hard-to-find data, key practical equations, and new exercises round off the book and ensure that it provides an ideal introduction to the practical use of CCDs for graduate students, and a handy reference for more experienced users |
| Contents Note | CCD manufacturing and operation -- Characterization of charge-coupled devices -- CCD imaging -- Photometry and astrometry -- Spectroscopy with CCDs -- CCDs used in space and at short wavelengths -- CCD reading list -- CCD manufacturers : websites & information -- Some basics of image displays and color images |
