A Grand and Bold Thing
Free Press 2010; US$ 27.00LATE IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY, what had been a fevered pace of discovery in astronomy for many years had slowed. The Hubble Space Telescope continued to produce an astonishing array of images, but the study of the universe was still fractured into domains: measuring the universe?s expansion rate, the evolution of galaxies in the early universe,... more...
3D Spectroscopy in Astronomy
Cambridge University Press 2010; US$ 46.00Lectures from the seventeenth Winter School of the Canary Islands Astrophysics Institute on new 3D spectroscopy techniques and data. more...
A Spectroscopic Atlas of Bright Stars
Springer 2009; US$ 29.95Suitable for amateur astronomers interested in practical spectroscopy or spectrography, this reference book identifies more than 70 (northern hemisphere) bright stars that are suitable observational targets. It provides finder charts for locating these sometimes-familiar stars. more...
Precision Spectroscopy in Astrophysics
Springer 2007; US$ 84.99High-accuracy Doppler shift measurements and high-precision spectroscopy are primary techniques in the search for exo-planets. Further extremely interesting applications include the analysis of QSO absorption lines to determine the variability of physical constants and the analysis of the isotopic ratios of absorption lines both in stars and in QSOs,... more...
High-Energy Spectroscopic Astrophysics
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2006; US$ 99.99After three decades of intense research in X-ray and gamma-ray astronomy, the time was ripe to summarize basic knowledge on X-ray and gamma-ray spectroscopy for interested students and researchers ready to become involved in new high-energy missions. This volume exposes both the scientific basics and modern methods of high-energy spectroscopic astrophysics.... more...
Astronomical Spectroscopy
World Scientific Publishing Company 2005; US$ 67.60Nearly all the information we know about the Universe comes from the study of light as it reaches us. The understanding of this information contained in light requires both telescopes capable of resolving light into its different component colors, as well as detailed knowledge of the quantum mechanical behavior of atoms and molecules. more...
Introduction to Spectropolarimetry
Cambridge University Press 2003; US$ 50.00Spectropolarimetry embraces the most complete and detailed measurement and analysis of light, as well as its interaction with matter. This book provides an introductory overview of the area, and will be a valuable reference for graduates and researchers in astrophysics, solar physics and optics. more...
Astrophysical Spectropolarimetry
Cambridge University Press 2001; US$ 126.00Lectures by prestigious astrophysics researchers given at the XII Canary Islands Winter School of Astrophysics. more...
The Analysis of Emission Lines
Cambridge University Press 1995; US$ 49.00Coherent overview of the latest technical data, techniques and applications of one of the most fundamental tools available to astronomers. more...
Spectroscopy of Astrophysical Plasmas
Cambridge University Press 1987; US$ 49.00A group of acknowledged experts describe the use of spectroscopy as a diagnostic probe of astronomical environments. The broad sweep of the book enables good coverage to be given to all the situations in which plasmas are encounteres in astronomical investigations. Specifically, the articles include quasars, Seyfert galaxies, active galactic nuclei,... more...
