商品描述
This book provides an introduction, from the astronomical point of view of the author, to the exciting search for extra-terrestrial life, and an overview of the current status of research into 'alien' life in the Solar System and beyond. It also explores the potential future human exploration of the Moon and Mars.
Up-to-date with the latest developments in the field and accompanied by key references for further study, it is a fantastic introduction to the field of astrobiology for non-science majors taking an elective module, in addition to undergraduates studying physics with an interest in this area.
Features:
- Contains the latest groundbreaking research in the hunt for life outside of Earth
- Discusses the identification of biosignatures in exo-planets
- Reviews future options for human outposts on the Moon and Mars
商品描述(中文翻譯)

作者簡介
Cesare Barbieri is Emeritus Professor of Astronomy at the University of Padova, Italy. He is one of Europe's leading scientists in astronomical science. His team was involved in the construction of the Halley Multicolour Camera for GIOTTO and the OSIRIS camera for Rosetta, two history-making European cometary space missions. He also directed the design and construction of the 3.5m Telescopio Nazionale Galileo, Italy's largest telescope on the Canary Islands. Dr. Barbieri is also renowned for his research into the tenuous atmosphere of the Moon and Mercury with high resolution spectroscopy. He pioneered the application to astronomy of fundamental aspects of quantum optics, building single photon photometers that obtain light curves of optical pulsars of the highest quality.
作者簡介(中文翻譯)
切薩雷·巴比耶里是義大利帕多瓦大學的名譽天文學教授。他是歐洲天文科學領域的領先科學家之一。他的團隊參與了哈雷多色相機（Halley Multicolour Camera）為GIOTTO任務和OSIRIS相機為羅塞塔（Rosetta）任務的建造，這兩個任務都是具有歷史意義的歐洲彗星太空任務。他還負責設計和建造3.5米的加那利群島國家望遠鏡（Telescopio Nazionale Galileo），這是義大利最大的望遠鏡。巴比耶里博士因其對月球和水星稀薄大氣的高解析度光譜研究而聞名。他在天文學中開創性地應用了量子光學的基本原理，建造了單光子光度計，獲得了最高品質的光學脈衝星光曲線。
