| Title | Video Astronomy on the Go : Using Video Cameras With Small Telescopes |
| Author(s) | Ashley, Joseph |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2017. |
| Description | XIII, 205 p. 75 illus., 34 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Author Joseph Ashley explains video astronomy's many benefits in this comprehensive reference guide for amateurs. Video astronomy offers a wonderful way to see objects in far greater detail than is possible through an eyepiece, and the ability to use the modern, entry-level video camera to image deep space objects is a wonderful development for urban astronomers in particular, as it helps sidestep the issue of light pollution. The author addresses both the positive attributes of these cameras for deep space imaging as well as the limitations, such as amp glow. The equipment needed for imaging as well as how it is configured is identified with hook-up diagrams and photographs. Imaging techniques are discussed together with image processing (stacking and image enhancement). Video astronomy has evolved to offer great results and great ease of use, and both novices and more experienced amateurs can use this book to find the set-up that works best for them. Flexible and portable, they open up a whole new way of seeing space |

| Title | Uncharted Constellations : Asterisms, Single-Source and Rebrands |
| Author(s) | Barentine, John C |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2016. |
| Description | XVI, 222 p. 65 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book compiles an array of interesting constellations that fell by the wayside before the IAU established the modern canon of constellations. That decision left out lesser known ones whose history is nevertheless interesting, but at last author John Barentine is giving them their due. This book is a companion to "The Alternate Constellations", highlighting the more obscure configurations.?? The 16??constellations found in this volume fall into one or more of three broad??categories: asterims, such as the??Big Dipper in??Ursa Major; single-sourced constellations introduced on surviving charts by a cartographer perhaps currying the favor of sponsors; and re-brands,??new figures meant to??displace existing constellations, often??for an ideological reason. All of them reveal something unique about the development of humanity's map of the sky.?? |

| Title | Amplitude Modulation of Pulsation Modes in Delta Scuti Stars |
| Author(s) | Bowman???????????????, Dominic M.???????????? |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2017. |
| Description | XVI, 204 p. 83 illus., 62 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This outstanding thesis by Dominic Bowman provides a thorough investigation of long-standing questions as to whether amplitude modulation is astrophysical, whether it offers insights into pulsating stars, and whether simple beating of modes with stable amplitudes is unrecognised because of a lack of frequency resolution. In this thesis, the author studied a uniform sample of 983 delta Scuti stars???the most common type of main-sequence heat engine pulsator???that were observed nearly continuously for 4 years at stunning photometric precision of only a few parts per million by the Kepler space mission. With no mission planned to supersede the Kepler 4-year data set, this thesis will stand as the definitive study of these questions for many years. With revolutionary photometric data from the planet-hunting Kepler space mission, asteroseismic studies have been carried out on many hundreds of main-sequence solar-type stars and about 10,000 red giants. It is easy to understand why those stochastically driven stars have highly variable amplitudes. Over much of the rest of the Hertzsprung???Russell (HR) diagram, stellar pulsations are driven by heat mechanisms, which are much more regular than the stochastic driving in solar-like pulsators. Yet for decades, amplitude and frequency modulation of pulsation modes have been observed in almost all types of heat-driven pulsating stars. The author shows that the amplitude and frequency modulation are astrophysical, and he has investigated their implications and prospects to provide new insights into the delta Scuti stars and the many other types of heat-engine pulsators across the HR diagram |

| Title | Cartography of the Sun and the Stars |
| Author(s) | Rozelot, Jean-Pierre;Neiner, Coralie |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2016. |
| Description | X, 206 p. 78 illus., 48 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The mapping of the surface of stars requires diverse skills, analysis techniques and advanced modeling, i.e. the collaboration of scientists in various specialties. This volume gives insights into new techniques allowing for the first time to obtain resolved images of stars. It takes stock of what has been achieved so far in Chile, on the ESO VLTI instrument or, in the States, on the CHARA instrument. In recent times interferometry, combined with adaptive optics has allowed to reconstruct images of stars. Besides the Sun (of course) by now five stars have been resolved in detail. In addition to interferometry, this book highlights techniques used for mapping the surfaces of stars using photometry made by space observatories; Zeeman- and Doppler Imaging; mapping the surface element abundances via spectroscopy. This book will also take stock of the best images of the solar surface, made by connecting the differential rotation to the underlying physical parameters derived from helioseismology. Recent measurements of flattening of the solar surface by SDO showed that the Sun???s shape is linked to the rotation of the core. It is shown how such a result is generalizable to the stars |

| Title | A Far-Infrared Spectro-Spatial Space Interferometer : Instrument Simulator and Testbed Implementation |
| Author(s) | Juanola-Parramon, Roser |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2016. |
| Description | XV, 156 p. 100 illus., 72 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This thesis describes the physics and computational aspects of an end-to-end simulator to predict the performance of a Space-based Far Infrared Interferometer. The present thesis also includes, the science capabilities and instrumental state-of-the art. The latter is the ambitious next step which the Far-Infrared Astrophysical community needs to take to improve in anyway on the results of the most recent and current space telescopes in this wavelength region. This thesis outlines the requirements involved in such a mission and describes the most promising technique to capture most of the astrophysical information by combining spectroscopy to spatial interferometer. The simulation of such a system is extremely complex requiring multiple Fourier transforms each of which is subject to instrument non-idealities and appropriate optimization techniques. As a conclusion, the thesis provides an example of the basic performance achievable with such an instrument when targeting a young star formation region |

| Title | Morphology, Kinematics and Star Formation Across the Hubble Sequence of Galaxies |
| Author(s) | Erroz-Ferrer, Santiago |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2016. |
| Description | XIII, 201 p. 98 illus., 54 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This thesis discusses the evolution of galaxies through the study of the morphology, kinematics, and star formation properties of a sample of nearby galaxies. The main body of the thesis describes the kinematic observations with the GHaFAS Fabry-Perot instrument on the William Herschel Telescope of a sample of 29 spiral galaxies. The work is closely related to the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies, and uses the mid-infrared data of that survey to determine key parameters of the galaxies studied. From these data, important results are obtained on streaming and other non-circular motions in galaxies, on the distribution and rates of star formation, and on how correlations of these parameters and of the rotation curve shape with basic galaxy parameters yield clues on the evolutionary processes taking place in disk galaxies |

| Title | Astronomy at High Angular Resolution : A Compendium of Techniques in the Visible and Near-Infrared |
| Author(s) | Boffin, Henri M. J;Hussain, Gaitee;Berger, Jean-Philippe;Schmidtobreick, Linda |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2016. |
| Description | XVI, 274 p. 120 illus., 88 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book offers an essential compendium of astronomical high-resolution techniques. Recent years have seen considerable developments in such techniques, which are critical to advances in many areas of astronomy. As reflected in the book, these techniques can be divided into direct methods, interferometry, and reconstruction methods, and can be applied to a huge variety of astrophysical systems, ranging from planets, single stars and binaries to active galactic nuclei, providing angular resolution in the micro- to tens of milliarcsecond scales. Written by experts in their fields, the chapters cover adaptive optics, aperture masking imaging, spectra disentangling, interferometry, lucky imaging, Roche tomography, imaging with interferometry, interferometry of AGN, AGN reverberation mapping, Doppler- and magnetic imaging of stellar surfaces, Doppler tomography, eclipse mapping, Stokes imaging, and stellar tomography. This book is intended to enable a next generation of astronomers to apply high-resolution techniques. It informs readers on how to achieve the best angular resolution in the visible and near-infrared regimes from diffraction-limited to micro-arcsecond scales |

| Title | The Great Canoes in the Sky : Starlore and Astronomy of the South Pacific |
| Author(s) | Chadwick, Stephen Robert;Paviour-Smith, Martin |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2017. |
| Description | XVII, 233 p. 181 illus., 149 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Presenting spectacular photographs of astronomical objects of the southern sky, all taken by author Stephen Chadwick, this book explores what peoples of the South Pacific see when they look up at the heavens and what they have done with this knowledge. From wives killing brothers to emus rising out of the desert and great canoes in the sky, this book offers the perfect blend of science, tradition and mythology to bring to life the most famous sights in the heavens above the southern hemisphere. The authors place this starlore in the context of contemporary understandings of astronomy. The night sky of southern societies is as rich in culture as it is in stars. Stories, myths and legends based on constellations, heavenly bodies and other night sky phenomena have played a fundamental role in shaping the culture of pre-modern civilizations throughout the world. Such starlore continues to influence societies throughout the Pacific to this day, with cultures throughout the region ??? from Australia and New Zealand in the south to New Guinea and Micronesia in the north - using traditional cosmology as a means of interpreting various aspects of everyday life |

| Title | John Tebbutt : Rebuilding and Strengthening the Foundations of Australian Astronomy |
| Author(s) | Orchiston, Wayne |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2017. |
| Description | XLVII, 555 p. 262 illus., 111 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book marks the centennial of Tebbutt's death with a major biographical account surveying his scientific contributions to astronomy, prefaced with a foreword by Sir Patrick Moore. During the second half of the nineteenth century, Tebbutt was Australia's foremost astronomer. He devoted his time and funds to astronomy, and built a truly international reputation that far surpassed Australia's leading professional astronomers of the day. This book marks the centennial of Tebbutt's death with a major biographical account. Tebbutt's remarkable record of achievement extends over more than half a century. Orchiston's book covers the whole of Tebbutt's career, from his yearly observatory reports and comet discoveries to his time as the first president of Sydney's branch of the British Astronomical Association |
