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.

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. Author is a Mechanical Engineer and has done good research work in Thermal Engineering Field. Author has teaching experience in Engineering Colleges.

Using well known petrologic techniques, this book reveals in vivid colour their extraordinary external and internal structures. Looking deeper still, right to the atomic level, they begin to tell us of the environment within the solar nebula that existed before the planets accreted. In recent years, meteorites have caught the imagination of scientist and collector alike. An army of people are now actively searching for them in the hot and cold deserts of Earth. This book is a valuable guide to assist the searchers in the field to recognize the many classes of meteorites. It is further a reference source for students, teachers and scientists who wish to probe deeper these amazing rocks from space.
