Millimetre and Submillimetre Astronomy: Lectures Presented at a Summer School Held in Stirling, Scotland, June 21-27, 1987
ISBN: 9789027727633 / Angielski / Twarda / 393 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The millimetre and submillimetre spectral region (300 to 3000 Ilm or 1000 to 100 GHz) was until recently one of the few spectral regimes not fully opened up for astronomical studies. Thanks both to improvements in detectors and receivers and to the construction of large telescopes at high altitude sites this situation is improving very rapidly. Three major telescopes have been built recently and are coming into operation during 1987 and 1988, namely the 15m James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) and the lOAm Caltech Submillimetre Observatory (CSO) telescope, both located on Mauna Kea, Hawaii,...

Very High Angular Resolution Imaging: Proceedings of the 158th Symposium of the International Astronomical Union, Held at the Women's College, Univers
ISBN: 9780792326335 / Angielski / Miękka / 504 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The 1990s are proving to be a very exciting p&iod for high angular resolution astronomy. At radio wavelengths a combination of new array instruments and pow- erful imaging algorithms have generated images of unprecedented resolution and quality. In the optical and infrared, the great technical difficulties associated with constructing separated-aperture interferometers have been largely overcome, and many new instruments are now operating or are being developed. As these pro- grams start to produce observational results they will be able to draw extensively on the experience gained by the...

Royal Observatory, Cape of Good Hope 1820-1831: The Founding of a Colonial Observatory Incorporating a Biography of Fearon Fallows
ISBN: 9780792335276 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book, which has been in the making for some eighteen years, would never have begun were it not for Dr. David Dewhirst in 1976 kindly having shown the author a packet of papers in the archives of the Cambridge Obser vatories. These letters and miscellaneous papers of Fearon Fallows sparked an interest in the history of the Royal Observatory at the Cape of Good Hope which, after the diversion of producing several books on later phases of the Observatory, has finally resulted in a detailed study of the origin and first years of the Observatory's life. Publication of this book coincides with...

Voice of the Universe: Building the Jodrell Bank Telescope; Revised and Updated Edition
ISBN: 9780275926793 / Angielski / Miękka / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this volume the creator and director of Jodrell Bank, the world's largest radio telescope, tells the fascinating story behind the building of this huge telescope. Though the telescope is popularly known for tracking and communicating with man-made satellites, its prime function is the study of the universe by means of radio waves emitted by distatant stars. The radiation received from meteors, the moon, the Andromeda Galaxy, and the Milky Way offers new information daily about the origins of life on this planet and the possibilities of life on other worlds. The building of the telescope... In this volume the creator and director of Jodrell Bank, the world's largest radio telescope, tells the fascinating story behind the building of th... |

X-Ray Detectors in Astronomy
ISBN: 9780521106030 / Angielski / Miękka / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. First published in 1989, this book provides a comprehensive review of the detection techniques that are used in X-ray astronomy. Since the first discovery of a cosmic X-ray source in 1962, there has been rapid growth in X-ray astronomy, which has largely been made possible by enormous advances in the capabilities of photon counting instrumentation. The book describes the first 25 years of astronomical X-ray instrumentation and summarises the areas of current detector research, giving particular emphasis to imaging devices and to non-dispersive devices of high spectral resolution. It is the...

The topics covered in this book include: theory of scattering and scintillation, distribution of scattering material, intra-day variability, pulsars and their magnetospheric structure, polarization of AGN, interplanetary scintillation, and future highly-sensitive radio telescopes. The introductory papers emphasize the essential properties of diffractive and refractive scattering, how they differ in temporal and frequency structure, and what they reveal about irregularities in the ISM. Pulsars can be examined in a number of different ways as a function of frequency: time variability (both...

The Westerbork Observatory, Continuing Adventure in Radio Astronomy
ISBN: 9780792341505 / Angielski / Twarda / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A small country builds a world-class telescope in its backyard and lives happily ever after (or at least for a quarter century). That in a nutshell is the story told in this collection of essays. The country of course is the Netherlands, and the telescope is the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Tele scope (WSRT), brainchild of Jan Oort. Living happily in this context is a continuing record of discovery and as such also a continuing basis for se curing observing time on facilities in other countries and operating at other frequencies. As our community celebrates the Silver Anniversary of the radio...

Eye on the Sky: Lick Observatory's First Century
ISBN: 9780520268692 / Angielski / Miękka / 326 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The world's first mountain-top observatory and America's first big-science research center, Lick Observatory exemplifies astronomy's dramatic development in the past century. A dedicated Confederate naval officer and his jack-of-all-trades foreman used the bequest of a miserly California eccentric to transform an isolated mountain peak into the world's premier research observatory. Its first staff included a director from West Point and three of the outstanding astronomers of their time. Since its dedication in 1888, Lick Observatory has been the site of many of the most important discoveries...

The Astrological Revolution: Unveiling the Science of the Stars as a Science of Reincarnation and Karma
ISBN: 9781584200833 / Miękka / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Like the prostrate pilgrim on the front cover--with his head protruding through the vault of heaven to discern the working of the cosmos--humanity has for many centuries employed astrology to penetrate the mystery of the stars' relationship to human destiny. Based on decades of research into both astrological reincarnation and the history of astronomy/astrology, The Astrological Revolution unfolds this mystery. The reader is invited to call into question the basis of modern astrology. This basis, the tropical zodiac, emerged through Greek astronomers from what was...
