商品描述

This book provides a detailed history of stellar interferometry as practised at Mount Wilson Observatory. It covers the origin of the field in the early 19th Century, and its subsequent development throughout the last hundred years at the observatory, including the people, instruments, and methods involved in advancing high angular resolution astronomy. Additionally, two extensive appendices cover the importance of Mount Wilson today as well as an interferometry primer. It is an excellent book for historians, astronomers and anyone interested Mount Wilson.

 

Key Features

  • Describes the revolutionary work performed at the Mount Wilson Observatory in stellar astrophysics, extragalactic astronomy, and its role in high spatial resolution astronomy
  • Focuses on the history and heritage of Mount Wilson
  • Accessible to specialists, historians, and advanced amateur astronomers

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書詳細介紹了在威爾森山天文台進行的恆星干涉測量的歷史。它涵蓋了19世紀早期該領域的起源,以及在過去一百年中該天文台的後續發展,包括推進高角解析天文學所涉及的人員、儀器和方法。此外,兩個廣泛的附錄涵蓋了威爾森山今天的重要性以及干涉測量的入門知識。這是一本對於歷史學家、天文學家以及任何對威爾森山感興趣的人來說都非常出色的書籍。

作者簡介

Harold A McAlister is regents professor emeritus of astronomy at Georgia State University where he founded the Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy (CHARA) in 1983 and served as its director until he retired in 2015. As principal investigator for the CHARA Array, he led the team that turned a dream into a reality when ground was broken on Mount Wilson on July 13 1996. During 2002-2014 he served pro bono as CEO of the Mount Wilson Institute and director of Mount Wilson Observatory.
