Handbook of Infrared Astronomy

Monday, July 11th, 2011

Infrared astronomy is a dynamic area of current research. It has been revolutionized in the past few years by the advent of large, sensitive, infrared arrays, and the success of several infrared satellites. This handbook provides a clear, concise and accessible reference on all aspects of infrared astronomy. Throughout, the emphasis is on fundamental concepts, practical considerations and useful data. Starting with a review of the basic infrared emission mechanisms, we are shown how the earth’s

Astronomical Sketching: A Step-by-Step Introduction (Patrick Moore’s Practical Astronomy Series)

Wednesday, June 29th, 2011

There are two basic methods of recording astronomical images seen through the eyepiece of a telescope.

Many astronomers believe it is still unrivalled for recording and illustrating transient phenomena (such as TLPs) or for taking advantage of the fleeting moments of extreme clarity that result from the turbulent atmosphere thr
