  a"Astronomy is an observational science, renewed and even revolutionized by new developments in instrumentation. 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. This comprehensive text is ideal for graduate students, active researchers and instrument developers. It is a thorough review of how astronomers obtain their data, covering current approaches to astronomical measurements from radio to gamma rays. The focus is on current technology rather than the history of the field, allowing each topic to be discussed in depth. Areas covered include telescopes, detectors, photometry, spectroscopy, adaptive optics and high contrast imaging, millimeter-wave and radio receivers, radio and optical/infrared interferometry, and X-ray and gamma-ray astronomy, all at a level that bridges the gap between the basic principles of optics and the subject's abundant specialist literature"-- 7aRadio astronomy.2BUEsh 7aInfrared astronomy.2BUEsh 7aGamma ray astronomy.2BUEsh 7aX-ray astronomy.2BUEsh  2BUEsh  bENGGENcJune2015  vReading book1 aManning, Shiras,eillustrator.  2ddccBB  c19536d19508  00102ddc40708BaccahaMAINbMAINc1STd2015-06-09ePurchasel0o522 RIEp000038478r2025-07-15 00:00:00yBB
