A Powerful Window into Cosmic Evolution Terahertz (THz)
observations of interstellar atoms, molecules, and dust serve as
powerful probes of the conditions within the interstellar medium
that permeates our galaxy, providing insights into the origins of
stars, planets, galaxies, and the Universe. Taking a
cross-disciplinary approach to the subject, Terahertz Astronomy
explores THz astrophysics and the technologies that make this
rapidly evolving field possible. The first four chapters of the
book discuss the origin and interpretation of THz light in
astrophysical sources. The remaining five chapters present an
overview of the technologies used to collect and detect THz light.
Every chapter contains worked-out examples and exercises. The
author explains each topic as intuitively as possible and includes
the equations needed for real-life astrophysical applications. In
just a few years, the number of active THz researchers has
substantially grown due to increased interest in terrestrial remote
sensing at THz frequencies. This book provides researchers with
both the background science and technology to interpret THz
observations and design, build, and deploy THz astronomical
instrumentation.
