The Analysis of Emission Lines
ISBN: 9780521480819 / Angielski / Twarda / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What can emission lines tell us about an astrophysical object? A workshop at the Space Telescope Science Institute was dedicated to address just this question - for a host of objects (including planetary nebulae and active galactic nuclei) across a broad range of wavelenghts (from the infrared through to gamma-rays). Sixteen review articles are presented in this volume. They provide an overview of technical data, techniques in and applications of the study of emission lines from a variety of objects.

Exercises in Practical Astronomy : Using Photographs
ISBN: 9780750300612 / Angielski / Twarda / 108 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Practical work in astronomy at elementary and intermediate levels presents a difficulty for teachers. Unlike laboratory sciences, astronomy does not easily lend itself to bench experiments. Astronomical photographs supply an answer; they show what celestial objects actually look like, and are at the same time capable of being used to set problems relevant to the course work.

Very Long Baseline Interferometry: Techniques and Applications
ISBN: 9780792303763 / Angielski / Twarda / 438 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The quest for high resolution has preoccupied radio astronomers ever since radio waves were first detected from space fifty years ago. This venture was par ticularly stimulated by the discovery of quasars, and led to the development of interferometer techniques using baselines of transglobal dimensions. These meth ods have become known as Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI). Arrays of radio telescopes situated all over the Earth (or even in space) are regularly used for researches in radio astronomy, reaching resolutions as small as a fraction of a milli arcsecond. The technique also...

Interferometry in Radioastronomy and Radar Techniques
ISBN: 9780792304647 / Angielski / Twarda / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In recent years aperture synthesis and interferometry have become very powerful tools in radioastronomy. Investigation of distant galaxies, for example, have revealed structures with sizes of less than a kiloparsec. In general, the study of galaxies has benefited from the great power of these techniques.
Radar applications have also dramatically increased their quality by using the interferometry principle. Tracking and airborne radar can now determine position and velocity of objects with a much higher accuracy. This book describes in the first six, short chapters the basics of...

Infrared and Submillimeter Space Missions in the Coming Decade: Programmes, Programmatics, and Technology
ISBN: 9780792336198 / Angielski / Twarda / 235 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A revolution similar to that brought by CCDs to visible astronomy is still ahead in IR and submillimeter astronomy. There is certainly no wavelength range which has, over the past several years, seen such impressive advances in technology: large-scale detector arrays, new designs for cooling in space, lightweight mirror technologies. Scientific cases for observing the cold universe are outstanding. Observations in the FIR/Submm range will provide answers to such fundamental questions as: What is the spectrum of the primordial fluctuations? How do primeval galaxies look? What are the first...

The Nature of Unidentified Galactic High-Energy Gamma-Ray Sources: Proceedings of the Workshop Held at Tonantzintla, Puebla, Mexico, 9-11 October 2000
ISBN: 9781402000102 / Angielski / Twarda / 355 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Energetic Gamma-Ray Experiment Telescope (EGRET) instru ment on the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory left as a legacy its Third Catalog of High Energy Gamma-Ray Sources, whose detections include a large number of blazars, some pulsars, the Large Magellanic Cloud and a solar flare. Most of the newly discovered objects - a majority of the catalog -are unidentified sources, with a clearly predominant Galactic population. Are all these radio-quiet pulsars, like Geminga, or is there a novel type of celestial object, awaiting identification? In spite of the limited angular resolution provided by...

The Future of Small Telescopes in the New Millennium: Volume I - Perceptions, Productivities, and Policies Volume II - The Telescopes We Use Volume II
ISBN: 9781402009518 / Angielski / Twarda / 1031 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The motivation for these volumes is to provide a vision for the future of small telescopes. While this is an admirable task, ultimately I believe that as happens all the time in science - the prognostications will be overtaken by a rapidly changing scientific reality. As Virginia Trimble points out in chapter 1, the kinds of big questions that face us as astronomers today are rather different than the ones that drove the construction of astronomical facilities through much of the twentieth century. Right now, it appears that small telescopes will not have a lot of influence in answering those...

It is only since recent years that the importance of the effects of outdoor lighting on the night-time environment and on the physical and mental health of humans is recognized on a wider scale. The related issue of light pollution is a particularly complex one, with potential conflicts of interest between the utilities, environmentalists, astronomers, the lighting industry and various government departments. Energy politics are always a sensitive issue, and light pollution is no exception to this rule. The effects of light pollution on flora, fauna -including humans and their...

Using the Meade Etx: 100 Objects You Can Really See with the Mighty Etx
ISBN: 9781852333515 / Angielski / Miękka / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1996 Meade, the world's largest astronomical telescope manufacturer, introduced the ETX, a low-cost and genuinely portable instrument capable of results close to the theoretical limits of optical performance. Since then several different models have been introduced, most of them controlled by on-board computers that automatically point the telescope at objects selected from a database of 12,000. Unfortunately not all these objects are visible when looking through the ETX (They are included because they can be imaged with special equipment.) Mike Weasner is a world expert on the ETX range,...
