Non-optical methods of astronomy

Most popular at the top

  • Gamma-ray Astronomyby P. V. Ramana Murthy; A. W. Wolfendale

    Cambridge University Press 1993; US$ 123.00

    This book provides an invaluable introduction to the field of gamma-ray astronomy. In assessing the current state-of-the-art, the book also indicates the exciting basis from which new discoveries will be made. more...

  • The Square Kilometre Arrayby Domingos Barbosa; Sonia Anton; Leonid Gurvits

    Springer 2012; US$ 159.99

    The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will provide more than one order of magnitude improvement in sensitivity compared with any existing radio telescope over a wavelength range of several hundred to one, from decametric to microwave wavelengths. It will revolutionize the study of the most abundant element in the Universe, hydrogen, from the epoch of reionisation... more...

  • Extreme Ultraviolet Astronomyby Martin A. Barstow; Jay B. Holberg; Andrew King; Douglas Lin; Stephen Maran; Jim Pringle; Martin Ward

    Cambridge University Press 2003; US$ 74.00

    Describes the development of astronomy in the Extreme Ultraviolet wavelength range, from the first rocket-based experiments to the latest satellite missions. This timely book for graduate students and researchers comes at the end of a major phase of discovery in the field. more...

  • Very High Energy Cosmic Gamma Radiationby Michael D Smith

    World Scientific Publishing Company 2004; US$ 139.10

    Gamma ray astronomy, the branch of high energy astrophysics that studies the sky in energetic ?-ray photons, is destined to play a crucial role in the exploration of nonthermal phenomena in the Universe in their most extreme and violent forms. The great potential of this discipline offers impressive coverage of many ?hot topics? of modern astrophysics... more...

  • Photopolarimetry in Remote Sensingby Gorden Videen

    Springer 2005; US$ 269.00

    Photopolarimetric remote sensing is vital in fields as diverse as medical diagnostics, astrophysics, atmospheric science, environmental monitoring and military intelligence. The areas considered here include: radiative transfer; dynamic systems; backscatter polarization; biological systems; astrophysical phenomena; comets; and instrumentation. more...

  • Compact Stellar X-ray Sourcesby Walter Lewin; Michiel van der Klis; Andrew King; Douglas Lin; Stephen Maran; Jim Pringle; Martin Ward

    Cambridge University Press 2006; US$ 55.00

    X-ray astronomy is the prime available window on astrophysical compact objects: black holes, neutron stars and white dwarfs. In this book, the foremost experts in the field provide a comprehensive overview of the observations and astrophysics of these objects. This is a valuable reference for graduate students and active researchers. more...

  • The Biggest Bangsby Jonathan Katz

    Oxford University Press 2002; US$ 44.99

    For over 25 years, gamma-ray bursts were the outstanding mystery in astronomy. No one knew where they were or how they worked. 'The Biggest Bangs' tells how the mystery was unravelled, from the discovery of gamma-ray bursts by a Cold War satellite system monitoring the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty to the localization of bursts in distant galaxies. more...

  • The Square Kilometre Arrayby Peter J. Hall

    Springer 2006; US$ 149.99

    Presents an overview of the engineering of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), a revolutionary instrument designed to be the world's largest radio telescope. This book, containing 36 refereed papers written by leaders in SKA engineering, has been compiled by the International SKA Project Office. more...

  • The Invisible Universeby Gerrit L. Verschuur

    Springer-Verlag New York Inc 2007; US$ 25.99

    Presents the story of radio astronomy, of how radio waves are generated by stars, supernova, quasars, colliding galaxies, and by the very beginnings of the universe itself. This edition helps you learn what astronomers are doing with those huge dishes dotted around the world. more...

  • Fundamental Questions in Astrophysicsby Ana I. Gómez de Castro; Willem Wamsteker

    Springer 2007; US$ 109.99

    The Ultraviolet is a fundamental energy domain since it is one of the most powerful tools to study plasmas at temperatures in the 3,000-300,000K range. This book describes the fundamental problems in modern astrophysics that cannot progress without easy and wide-spread access to modern UV instrumentation. more...
