Book excerpt: Interpreting Astronomical Spectra D. Emerson Institute for Astronomy, Department of Physics and Astronomy, The University of Edingurgh "Interpreting Astronomical Spectra" describes how physical conditions such as temperature, density and composition can be obtained from the spectra of a broad range of astronomical environments ranging from the cold interstellar medium to very hot coronal gas and from stellar atmospheres to quasars. In this book the author has succeeded in providing a coherent and integrated approach to the interpretation of astronomical spectroscopy, placing the emphasis on the physical understanding of spectrum formation rather than on instrumental considerations. MKS units and consistent symbols are employed throughout so that the fundamental ideas common to diverse environments are made clear and the importance of different temperature ranges and densities can be seen. Aimed at senior undergraduates and graduates studying physics, astronomy and astrophysics, this book will also appeal to the professional astronomer.
Download or read book The Analysis of Starlight written by J. B. Hearnshaw and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 1990-04-19 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a detailed pedagogical account of the equation of state and its applications in several important and fast growing topics in theoretical physics, chemistry and engineering. This book is the storv of the analysis of starlight by astronomical spectroscopy. It describes the development of the subject from the time of Joseph Fraunhofer, who, in 1814, used a telescope-mounted prism to observe the spectral light emitted from several bright stars. He discovered that light was missing at certain colours (wavelengths) in the starlight, and these so-called spectral lines were subsequently shown to hold clues to the nature of the stars themselves. The book explains how the classification of stars using their line spectra developed into a major branch of astronomy whilst new methods in astrophysics made possible the approximate quantitative analysis of spectral lines in the 1920s and 1930s. After the Second World War these techniques were considerably improved when computers were programmed to model the structure of the outer layers of stars. Basic concepts in spectroscopy and spectral analysis are also covered and. finally. Dr Hearnshaw comments on the stellar spectroscopy of some individual star.

Download or read book Spectroscopy The Key to the Stars written by Keith Robinson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-08-15 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first non-technical book on spectroscopy written specifically for practical amateur astronomers. It includes all the science necessary for a qualitative understanding of stellar spectra, but avoids a mathematical treatment which would alienate many of its intended readers. Any amateur astronomer who carries out observational spectroscopy and who wants a non-technical account of the physical processes which determine the intensity and profile morphology of lines in stellar spectra will find this is the only book written specially for them. It is an ideal companion to existing books on observational amateur astronomical spectroscopy.

This book was released on 2019-04-18 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third edition of Astronomical Spectroscopy examines the physics necessary to understand and interpret astronomical spectra. It offers a step-by-step guide to the atomic and molecular physics involved in providing astronomical spectra starting from the relatively simple hydrogen atom and working its way to the spectroscopy of small molecules.Based on UCL course material, this book uses actual astronomical spectra to illustrate the theoretical aspects of the book to give the reader a feel for such spectra as well as an awareness of what information can be retrieved from them. It also provides comprehensive exercises, with answers given, to aid understanding.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This accessible guide presents the astrophysical concepts behind astronomical spectroscopy, covering both the theory and the practical elements of recording, processing, analysing and interpreting your spectra. It covers astronomical objects, such as stars, planets, nebulae, novae, supernovae, and events such as eclipses and comet passages. Suitable for anyone with only a little background knowledge and access to amateur-level equipment, the guide's many illustrations, sketches and figures will help you understand and practise this scientifically important and growing field of amateur astronomy, up to the level of Pro-Am collaborations. Accessible to non-academics, it benefits many groups from novices and learners in astronomy clubs, to advanced students and teachers of astrophysics. This volume is the perfect companion to the Spectral Atlas for Amateur Astronomers, which provides detailed commented spectral profiles of more than 100 astronomical objects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on Astronomical Spectroscopy Since the first introduction of the spectroscope in scientific research, spectrum analysis proper and spectrum analysis in its astronomical applications have been closely and reciprocally related. The rapid development of spectrum analysis has been largely due to the results it has furnished in the observation of celestial objects, and these same results have been of the greatest importance in Astrophysics. It is therefore surprising that hitherto no text-book has existed for this chief field of spectrum analysis, - astronomical spectroscopy. It is true that there is no lack of popular expositions of this branch, some of them admirable in their way, - we need only recall Schellen's excellent work, - but since they do not go beyond the range of popular comprehension they are suitable neither for the serious study of the subject nor for the use of scientists as hand-books. Kayser's Lehrbuch. der Spectralanalyse deals with the subject in a more scientific way, but it treats of celestial spectroscopy in so brief and incidental a manner that it cannot be regarded as a text-book in this branch of spectroscopy. As the domain of astronomical spectroscopy has so constantly widened, every astrophysicist must have felt the increasing need of a work presenting an exhaustive account of all the modern methods and results of research in this branch of science. This need has been so strongly felt by myself as to impel me to undertake the difficult task of compiling a work of this character. The plan of the book indicates the view by which I have been governed: I have endeavored to satisfy the requirements both of practice and theory, while giving at the same time a record of the results thus far accomplished. I have also thought it desirable that the book should be made useful for practical work and advanced study by the addition of a number of spectroscopic tables and a fairly complete Bibliography. In the statement of the results of the spectroscopic investigations upon the heavenly bodies, reference has not been made to all individual observations or discussions, but a selection has been made of those which were sufficient to represent the present state of our knowledge. In the presentation of these facts I have assumed that the reader has such an acquaintance with the subject as may be gained from a book like Schellen's.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spectrum Analysis in Its Application to Terrestrial Substances, and the Physical Constitution of the Heavenly Bodies This was so evident to the late Dr. Schellen, that when a third edition of his valuable book was called for, he set himself the task of reconstructing the whole work, as in no other way could the mass of new material he had accumulated be fittingly introduced. While thus engaged he was attacked by the lingering illness to which unhappily he has recently succumbed, and which obliged him, for the satisfactory completion of his labours, to seek a coadjutor in his'esteemed friend Dr. H. J. Klein. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
