  • Diffraction-limited Imaging With Large And Moderate Telescopesby Swapan K Saha

    World Scientific 2007; US$ 101.40

    This book deals with the fundamentals of wave optics, polarization, interference, diffraction, imaging, and the origin, properties, and optical effects of turbulence in the Earth's atmosphere. Techniques developed during the last few decades to overcome atmospheric image degradation (including passive methods, speckle interferometry in particular, and active methods such as adaptive optics), are highlighted. Also discussed are high resolution sensors, image processing, and the astronomical results obtained with these techniques. more...

  • Astronomical Optics and Elasticity Theoryby A. Burkert; W. B. Burton

    Springer 2008; US$ 129.00

    Presents an introduction to optics and elasticity. This book discusses variable curvature and multimode deformable mirrors, as well as, in depth, active optics, its theory and applications. It also covers optical design utilizing the Schmidt concept and various types of Schmidt correctors, as well as the elasticity theory of thin plates. more...

  • Astronomical Image and Data Analysisby Jean-Luc Starck; Fionn Murtagh

    Springer 2006; US$ 159.00

    With information and scale as central themes, this comprehensive survey explains how to handle real problems in astronomical data analysis using a modern arsenal of powerful techniques. It treats those innovative methods of image, signal, and data processing that are proving to be both effective and widely relevant. The authors are leaders in this rapidly developing field and draw upon decades of experience. They have been playing leading roles in international projects such as the Virtual Observatory and the Grid. The book addresses not only students and professional astronomers and astrophysicists, but also serious amateur astronomers and specialists in earth observation, medical imaging, and data mining. The coverage includes chapters or... more...

  • Adaptive Optics in Astronomyby François Roddier

    Cambridge University Press 1999; US$ 70.00

    Adaptive optics is set to revolutionise the future of astronomy; this is the first book on the subject and is set to become the standard reference. more...
