商品描述

Providing a broad overview of foundational concepts, this second edition of Fundamentals of Astronomy covers topics ranging from spherical astronomy to reference systems, and celestial mechanics to astronomical photometry and spectroscopy.

It expounds arguments of classical astronomy that provided the foundation for modern astrometry, whilst presenting the latest results of the very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI) radio technique, optical interferometers and satellites such as Hipparcos and GAIA, and recent resolutions of the IAU and IERS regarding precession, forced and free nutation, and Earth figure and rotation.

Concepts of general relativity are explored, such as the advance of Mercury's perihelion, light deflection and black holes, in addition to the physical properties, orbits, and ephemerides of planets, comets and asteroids with an extension to visual binary stars orbital reconstruction. Extrasolar planets are also discussed, with reference to radial velocity and transits measurements by ground and space telescopes.

Basic concepts of astronomical photometry, spectroscopy and polarimetry are given, including the influence of the terrestrial atmosphere. Classical works, such as Hipparchus, are mentioned in order to provide a flavor of the historical development of the field.

It is an ideal textbook for undergraduate and graduate students studying astronomy, astrophysics, mathematics, and engineering. Supplementary and explanatory notes provide readers with references to additional material published in other literature and scientific journals, whilst solved and unsolved exercises allow students to review their understanding of the material.

Features:

  • Provides an introductory vision of arguments from spherical astronomy to celestial mechanics to astronomical photometry and spectroscopy

  • Presents the information at an introductory level without sacrificing scientific rigor

  • Fully updated throughout with the latest results in the field

商品描述(中文翻譯)

提供基礎概念的廣泛概述，本書第二版《天文學基礎》涵蓋了從球面天文學到參考系統、從天體力學到天文光度學和光譜學的主題。

本書闡述了古典天文學的論點，這些論點為現代天體測量學奠定了基礎，同時呈現了最新的非常長基線干涉測量（VLBI）無線電技術、光學干涉儀以及如Hipparcos和GAIA等衛星的最新成果，並討論了國際天文聯合會（IAU）和國際地球自轉服務（IERS）關於歲差、強迫和自由進動、地球形狀和自轉的最新決議。

本書探討了一般相對論的概念，例如水星近日點的進動、光的偏折和黑洞，此外還包括行星、彗星和小行星的物理特性、軌道和天文年曆，並擴展到視雙星的軌道重建。還討論了系外行星，並參考了地面和太空望遠鏡的徑向速度和過境測量。

本書提供了天文光度學、光譜學和偏振學的基本概念，包括地球大氣的影響。提及古典作品，如希帕克斯，以提供該領域歷史發展的風味。

這是一本理想的教科書，適合學習天文學、天體物理學、數學和工程的本科生和研究生。補充和解釋性註釋為讀者提供了參考其他文獻和科學期刊中發表的附加材料的資訊，而已解和未解的練習題則允許學生檢視他們對材料的理解。

特色：
- 提供從球面天文學到天體力學，再到天文光度學和光譜學的論點的入門視角
- 以入門級別呈現資訊，並不犧牲科學嚴謹性
- 全面更新，包含該領域的最新成果

Cesare Barbieri is Professor Emeritus of astronomy at the University of Padova, Italy. He directed the Astronomical Observatory of Padova and the construction of the 3.5 m Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (Canary Islands). He held several positions in the European Space Agency and European Southern Observatory advisory committees, with an active role in several space missions (the Halley Multicolour Camera on board GIOTTO to comet Halley, the Faint Object Camera on the Hubble Space Telescope, the imaging system OSIRIS on board ROSETTA to comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko).

Ivano Bertini is Senior Researcher of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the Parthenope University of Naples, Italy, and associate scientist at the Institute for Space Astrophysics and Planetology-INAF, Rome, Italy. He also worked at the Physikalisches Institut of the University of Bern (Switzerland), at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía in Granada (Spain), at the European Space Astronomy Centre of the European Space Agency in Madrid (Spain), and at the University of Padua (Italy). He has an active role in several space missions (the imaging system OSIRIS and the dust-collector instrument GIADA on board ROSETTA to comet Churyumov-Gersimenko, several instruments on board ESA Comet Interceptor and ASI LICIACube.
