商品描述
As demonstrated by five Nobel Prizes in physics, radio astronomy has contributed greatly to our understanding of the Universe. Yet for too long, there has been no comprehensive textbook on radio astronomy for undergraduate students.
This two-volume set of introductory textbooks is exclusively devoted to radio astronomy, with extensive discussions of telescopes, observation methods, and astrophysical processes that are relevant for this exciting field.
The first volume, Fundamentals of Radio Astronomy: Observational Methods, discusses radio astronomy instrumentation and the techniques to conduct successful observations. The second volume, Fundamentals of Radio Astronomy: Astrophysics, discusses the physical processes that give rise to radio emission, presents examples of astronomical objects that emit by these mechanisms, and illustrates how the relevant physical parameters of astronomical sources can be obtained from the radio observations.
Requiring no prior knowledge of astronomy, the two volumes are ideal textbooks for radio astronomy courses at the undergraduate or graduate level, particularly those that emphasize radio wavelength instrumentation and observational techniques or the astrophysics of radio sources. The set enables instructors to pick and choose topics from the two volumes that best fit their courses.
Features:
- Explores radio astronomy instruments and techniques that are important to enable observations
- Describes astrophysical processes that produce the radio emissions observed in different types of astronomical objects
- Includes numerous worked examples to demonstrate how the methods are used to solve problems, in addition to advanced material for students with more extensive physics and mathematics backgrounds
商品描述(中文翻譯)
作為五項諾貝爾物理學獎的證明，無線電天文學對於我們理解宇宙做出了重大貢獻。然而，長期以來，針對本科生的無線電天文學綜合教科書一直缺乏。
這套兩卷本的入門教科書專門致力於無線電天文學，廣泛討論了與這一激動人心的領域相關的望遠鏡、觀測方法和天體物理過程。
第一卷《無線電天文學基礎：觀測方法》討論了無線電天文學儀器及成功觀測的技術。第二卷《無線電天文學基礎：天體物理學》則探討了導致無線電輻射的物理過程，展示了通過這些機制發射的天文物體的例子，並說明如何從無線電觀測中獲取天文源的相關物理參數。
這兩卷書不需要任何天文學的先前知識，非常適合作為本科或研究生層級的無線電天文學課程的教科書，特別是那些強調無線電波長儀器和觀測技術或無線電源的天體物理學的課程。這套書使得教師能夠根據自己的課程需求選擇和搭配兩卷中的主題。
特色：
- 探索無線電天文學儀器和技術，這些對於進行觀測至關重要
- 描述產生在不同類型天文物體中觀測到的無線電輻射的天體物理過程
- 包含大量的實例，展示如何使用這些方法解決問題，並提供針對具有更廣泛物理和數學背景的學生的進階材料
