En savoir plus sur le livre

This set includes two essential texts on radio astronomy: the 6th edition of "Tools of Radio Astronomy" and the 2nd edition of "Tools of Radio Astronomy - Problems and Solutions." The 6th edition serves as a comprehensive introduction, updated to reflect advancements in the field, including satellite applications, low radio frequencies, and the significance of the Cosmic Microwave Background and mm/sub-mm dust emission. Key technical aspects, such as receiver noise and beam forming, have been revised and expanded to align with modern technology. The discussion on interferometers and aperture synthesis has been broadened to accommodate the capabilities of contemporary arrays like the Jansky-VLA and LOFAR. Additionally, developments in data reduction algorithms are included, alongside a refreshed examination of solar system radio astronomy, dust emission, and radio supernovae, reflecting data collected over the past two decades. The chapters on spectral line emission now encompass measurements of neutral hydrogen radiation from the early universe and insights into interstellar molecules, particularly in relation to protostars. The accompanying problems and solutions book offers graduate-level challenges aligned with the main text, enhancing understanding and application of the material presented. Both resources are invaluable for students and professionals in the field.
