Download or read book Analyzing the Physics of Radio Telescopes and Radio Astronomy written by Yeap, Kim Ho and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2020-02-07 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the field of astrophysics, modern developments of practice are emerging in order to further understand the spectral information derived from cosmic sources. Radio telescopes are a current mode of practice used to observe these occurrences. Despite the various accommodations that this technology offers, physicists around the globe need a better understanding of the underlying physics and operational components of radio telescopes as well as an explanation of the cosmic objects that are being detected. Analyzing the Physics of Radio Telescopes and Radio Astronomy is an essential reference source that discusses the principles of the astronomical instruments involved in the construction of radio telescopes and the analysis of cosmic sources and celestial objects detected by this machinery. Featuring research on topics such as electromagnetic theory, antenna design, and geometrical optics, this book is ideally designed for astrophysicists, engineers, researchers, astronomers, students, and educators seeking coverage on the operational methods of radio telescopes and understanding the physical processes of radio astronomy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A mathematical model is used to represent 8pik's 1958 physical theory of meteors in a form convenient for programming the computation of meteoroid photometric mass values. Sub-samples of 333 photographic meteors from McCrosky and Posen's sample are selected with respect to magnitude scaled for minimum velocity. A statistical comparison between the 1958 8pik resulst and the 1933 8pik provisional result, the Harvard-Meteor project basis for mass values, lative flux in absolute units for mass, momentum and energy are given separately for the terrestrial influx and for the lunar and interplanetary vehicle onfluxes.

Book excerpt: This book is for KIDS who love to read the SPACE SCIENCE. This book is one of the best choice for kids who like 'Astronomy' or 'Space Science'. This book illustrates about Asteroids. The beauty of the book is numbers of COLORFUL PICTURES are given to gain interest of kids in the Science. Many of us look at the sky in the night and observe the beautiful twinkling Stars. Have you ever observed a 'Falling star' in the sky at night? Many will say 'Yes'. We have probably seen this remarkable scene. You were actually seeing 'a meteor'. This book illustrates about 'a meteor shower'.It is very important to learn about asteroids. We all know that millions of years ago, asteroids hit the Earth and made all dinosaurs disappear. A collision 66 million years ago between The Earth and an object (which was approximately 10 Kilometers wide) is thought to have produced the extinction event for dinosaurs. Asteroids are 'minor planets' as they are much smaller in size than planets. They are usually found in the inner solar systems. It is small and rock like objects that orbit the Sun. Asteroids are made from different kinds of rocks and metals, with the metal being mostly the Nickel and Iron. Asteroids don't have an atmosphere.Our solar system began about 4.6 billion years ago. At this time, a big cloud of gas and dust collapsed and the most of the material fell to the center of the cloud. This resulted into formation of 'the Sun'. Some of the condensing dust in the cloud became planets. Some objects in the 'asteroid belt' could not form into planets. There are lots of asteroids in our solar system. Most of these asteroids live in the main 'asteroid belt'.About Author: Author is Post Graduate in Mechanical Engineering field.

Download or read book The Essential Engineer written by Henry Petroski and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-03-08 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the acclaimed author of The Pencil and To Engineer Is Human, The Essential Engineer is an eye-opening exploration of the ways in which science and engineering must work together to address our world’s most pressing issues, from dealing with climate change and the prevention of natural disasters to the development of efficient automobiles and the search for renewable energy sources. While the scientist may identify problems, it falls to the engineer to solve them. It is the inherent practicality of engineering, which takes into account structural, economic, environmental, and other factors that science often does not consider, that makes engineering vital to answering our most urgent concerns. Henry Petroski takes us inside the research, development, and debates surrounding the most critical challenges of our time, exploring the feasibility of biofuels, the progress of battery-operated cars, and the question of nuclear power. He gives us an in-depth investigation of the various options for renewable energy—among them solar, wind, tidal, and ethanol—explaining the benefits and risks of each. Will windmills soon populate our landscape the way they did in previous centuries? Will synthetic trees, said to be more efficient at absorbing harmful carbon dioxide than real trees, soon dot our prairies? Will we construct a “sunshade” in outer space to protect ourselves from dangerous rays? In many cases, the technology already exists. What’s needed is not so much invention as engineering. Just as the great achievements of centuries past—the steamship, the airplane, the moon landing—once seemed beyond reach, the solutions to the twenty-first century’s problems await only a similar coordination of science and engineering. Eloquently reasoned and written, The Essential Engineer identifies and illuminates these problems—and, above all, sets out a course for putting ideas into action.

Download or read book Meteor Showers and their Parent Comets written by Peter Jenniskens and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-09-14 with total page 804 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meteor Showers and their Parent Comets is a unique handbook for astronomers interested in observing meteor storms and outbursts. Spectacular displays of 'shooting stars' are created when the Earth's orbit crosses a meteoroid stream, as each meteoroid causes a bright light when it enters our atmosphere at high speed. Jenniskens, an active meteor storm chaser, explains how meteoroid streams originate from the decay of meteoroids, comets and asteroids, and how they cause meteor showers on Earth. He includes the findings of recent space missions to comets and asteroids, the risk of meteor impacts on Earth, and how meteor showers may have seeded the Earth with ingredients that made life possible. All known meteor showers are identified, accompanied by fascinating details on the most important showers and their parent comets. The book predicts when exceptional meteor showers will occur over the next fifty years, making it a valuable resource for both amateur and professional astronomers.
