Death Stars, Weird Galaxies, and a Quasar-Spangled Universe: The Discoveries of the Very Large Array Telescope
ISBN: 9780826332110 / Angielski / Twarda / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1931, Karl Jansky was hired by AT&T to search for sources of static that might interfere with radio waves for transatlantic communications. Jansky identified static from thunderstorms and random radio noise from devices on Earth, but he also found a radio hiss from the Milky Way galaxy.
After World War II, astronomers constructed more radio telescopes with greater sensitivity to faint radio signals from space. In the 1970s, the National Radio Astronomy Observatory built the Very Large Array (VLA) radio telescope, on the plains of San Agustin, New Mexico. The VLA is well equipped to hunt...

The Practical Astronomer's Deep-Sky Companion
ISBN: 9781852334741 / Angielski / Miękka / 146 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As an amateur astronomer with years of experience, I marvel at the joy experienced by a beginner who successfully hunts down their first deep-space object in a telescope. No matter what age or skill level, "nailing" a previously unobserved object through the eye piece, both instantly defines their love of the hobby and gives a feeling of scientific accomplishment no matter how well known to others the object may be. With the advancement in computer-guided telescopes and automatic object center ing, the amateur astronomy hobby has experienced tremendous and unprecedented growth. First timers...

Digital Astrophotography: The State of the Art
ISBN: 9781852337346 / Angielski / Miękka / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the years since The Art and Science of CCD Astronomy was ?rst published, digital imaging has been transformed from what was, in reality, a minority int- est to mainstream. Not even the most committed of CCD devotees could have predicted the few years it would take for digital imaging to supplant ?lm. We all probably guessed that a new age was dawning, but the speed at which silicon sensors came to dominate the photography market was simply staggering. New areas also appeared. No one predicted webcams would become the instrument of choice for imaging the planets. Afocal photography...

Onee the Sun has gone down, on clear nights without moonlight, the sky is inhabited by thousands oflumi nous dots of various eolours and levels ofbrightness. The speetacle offered by a starry sky is both grand and sublime, especially in less urban areas. In plaees where night illumination and air pollution are that mueh more intense, it is well known that we are unable to see as many stars as in a rural region. Nevertheless, this need not be overstated: on the out skirts of cities, or even in the cities themselves, pro vided you ehoose the more favourable areas, it is still possible to see...

Astronomy For Beginners is a friendly and accessible guide to our universe, our galaxy, our solar system and the planet we call home. Each year as we cruise through space on this tiny blue-green wonder, a number of amazing and remarkable events occur. For example, like clockwork, we ll run head-on into asteroid and cometary debris that spreads shooting stars across our skies. On occasion, we ll get to watch the disk of the Moon passing the Sun, casting its shadow on the face of the Earth, and sometimes we ll get to watch our own shadow as it glides across the face of the Moon.

Modern Astrometry
ISBN: 9783540423805 / Angielski / Twarda / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. On the occasion ofthe second edition ofthe book, it appeared necessary to up- date information that was already seven years old. Astrometry has recorded tremendous advances during these last years, so that, in addition to cor- recting identified errors and misprints, there are many major modifications. Among the events that forced me to modify significantly the contents of the book, the most important are the release of the Hipparcos and Tycho cata- logues, the introduction of CCD astrometry, the decision of the International Astronomical Union to adopt a new celestial reference frame, the...

Image Processing Techniques in Astronomy: Proceedings of a Conference Held in Utrecht on March 25-27, 1975
ISBN: 9789027706508 / Angielski / Twarda / 420 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The primary inducement for organizing an international Conference on 'Image Processing Techniques in_Astronomy' was the fact that the recording microdensitometer VAMP ('Vol Automatische Micro Photometer') of the Utrecht Astronomical Institute was operative for a few years. The necessity of comparing the in- strument and its performance with similar instruments nowadays available at many other institutes, was stimulating enough to organize a meeting on the above subject. It took place in Utrecht on March 25, 26 and 27, 1975. The Scientific Organizing Committee consisted of J. Borgman...

Instrumentation for Astronomy with Large Optical Telescopes: Proceedings of Iau Colloquium No. 67, Held at Zelenchukskaya, U.S.S.R., 8-10 September, 1
ISBN: 9789027713889 / Angielski / Twarda / 321 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Interest world-wide in the provision of new observational astro- nomical facilities in the form of ground-based optical telescopes of large aperture has never been higher than exists at present. The benefits to be gained from increased aperture size, however, are only utilised effectively if efficient instrumentation is also available. There have been significant improvements recently in this area, part- icularly in detector technology and data handling as well as in optical design, so that systems which are currently being developed have the capability of being vastly more powerful in terms...

The History of Ptolemy's Star Catalogue
ISBN: 9780387971810 / Angielski / Twarda / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ptolemy's Almagest shares with Euclid's Elements the glory of being the scientific text longest in use. From its conception in the second century up to the late Renaissance, this work determined astronomy as a science. During this time the Almagest was not only a work on astronomy; the subject was defined as what is described in the Almagest. The cautious emancipation of the late middle ages and the revolutionary creation of the new science in the 16th century are not conceivable without reference to the Almagest. This text lifted European astronomy to the high standard of knowledge on which...
