商品描述
As demonstrated by five Nobel Prizes in physics, radio astronomy has contributed greatly to our understanding of the Universe. Courses covering this subject are, therefore, very important in the education of the next generation of scientists who will continue to explore the Cosmos.
This textbook, the second of two volumes, presents an extensive introduction to the astrophysical processes that are studied in radio astronomy. Suitable for undergraduate courses on radio astronomy, it discusses the physical phenomena that give rise to radio emissions, presenting examples of astronomical objects, and illustrating how the relevant physical parameters of astronomical sources can be obtained from radio observations.
Unlike other radio astronomy textbooks, this book provides students with an understanding of the background and the underlying principles, with derivations available for most of the equations used in the textbook.
Features:
- Presents a clear and concise discussion of the important astronomical concepts and physical processes that give rise to both radio continuum and radio spectral line emission
- Discusses radio emissions from a variety of astronomical sources and shows how the observed emissions can be used to derive the physical properties of these sources
-
Includes numerous examples using actual data from the literature

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。因此，涵蓋這一主題的課程在培養下一代科學家方面非常重要，這些科學家將繼續探索宇宙。
這本教科書是兩卷中的第二卷，對無線電天文學中研究的天體物理過程進行了廣泛的介紹。適合用於無線電天文學的本科課程，討論了導致無線電輻射的物理現象，並舉例說明天文物體，說明如何從無線電觀測中獲取天文源的相關物理參數。
與其他無線電天文學教科書不同，本書使學生理解背景和基本原理，並提供了大多數方程的推導過程。
**特色：**
- 清晰簡明地討論了導致無線電連續輻射和無線電光譜線輻射的重要天文概念和物理過程
- 討論來自各種天文源的無線電輻射，並展示如何利用觀測到的輻射推導這些源的物理特性
- 包含大量使用文獻中實際數據的例子
