Measuring the Universe: A Multiwavelength Perspective Rieke George H.
Astronomy is an observational science, renewed and even revolutionized by new developments in instrumentation. This comprehensive text is ideal for graduate students, active researchers and instrument developers. With the resulting growth of multiwavelength investigation as an engine of discovery, it is increasingly important for astronomers to understand the underlying physical principles and operational characteristics for a broad range of instruments.
The focus is on current technology rather than the history of the field, allowing each topic to be discussed in depth. It is a thorough review of how astronomers obtain their data, covering current approaches to astronomical measurements from radio to gamma rays. Areas covered include telescopes, detectors, photometry, spectroscopy, adaptive optics and high- contrast imaging, millimeter-wave and radio receivers, radio and
