The Transient Radio Sky
Springer 2011; US$ 99.99The high time-resolution radio sky represents unexplored astronomical territory. This thesis presents a study of the transient radio sky, focussing on millisecond scales. As such, the work is concerned primarily with neutron stars. In particular this research concentrates on a recently identified group of neutron stars, known as RRATs, which exhibit... more...
Parkes: Thirty Years of Radio Astronomy
CSIRO Publishing 1994; US$ 39.95Presents accounts of the work and life at Parkes, and provides a fresh perspective on the growth of Australian science over the past three decades. more...
A Panchromatic View of Galaxies
Wiley 2012; US$ 135.00Describing how to investigate all kinds of galaxies through a multifrequency analysis, this text is divided into three different sections. The first describes the data currently available at different frequencies, from X-rays to UV, optical, infrared and radio millimetric and centimetric, while explaining their physical meaning. In the second section,... more...
Thermal Design and Thermal Behaviour of Radio Telescopes and their Enclosures
Springer 2010; US$ 129.99Radio telescopes as well as communication antennas operate under the influence of gravity, temperature and wind. Among those, temperature influences may degrade the performance of a radio telescope through transient changes of the focus, pointing, path length and sensitivity, often in an unpredictable way. Thermal Design and Thermal Behaviour of Radio... more...
Searching African Skies
Jacana Media 2012; US$ 24.99An ambitious scientific project is unfolding in the desert of South Africa, with a multi-decade timeline that will eventually see expansion into Western Australia?a project that is detailed and celebrated in this book on the Square Kilometre Array (SKA). The SKA will be the largest and most sensitive radio telescope, expanding the capabilities of scientific... more...
Astrophysics at Very High Energies
Springer 2013; US$ 69.95With the success of Cherenkov Astronomy and more recently with the launch of NASAs Fermi mission, very-high-energy astrophysics has undergone a revolution in the last years. This book provides three comprehensive and up-to-date reviews of the recent advances in gamma-ray astrophysics and of multi-messenger astronomy. Felix Aharonian and Charles... more...
Handbook
De Gruyter 2011; US$ 280.00Since the discovery of X-ray diffraction in 1913 over 100 000 different inorganic substances (also called compounds or phases) have been structurally characterized. The aim of this reference work is to provide the researcher with a comprehensive compilation of all up to now crystallographically identified inorganic substances in only one volume. All... more...
