This book on astronomical measurement takes a fresh approach to
teaching the subject. After discussing some general principles, it
follows the chain of measurement through atmosphere, imaging,
detection, spectroscopy, timing, and hypothesis testing. The
various wavelength regimes are covered in each section, emphasising
what is the same, and what is different. The author concentrates on
the physics of detection and the principles of measurement, aiming
to make this logically coherent.
The book is based on a short self contained lecture course for
advanced undergraduate students developed and taught by the author
over several years.
