Completely updated, this second edition gives a broad review of
astronomical photometry to provide an understanding of astrophysics
from a data-based perspective. It explains the underlying
principles of the instruments used, and the applications and
inferences derived from measurements. Each chapter has been fully
revised to account for the latest developments, including the use
of CCDs. Highly illustrated, this book provides an overview and
historical background of the subject before reviewing the main
themes within astronomical photometry. The central chapters focus
on the practical design of the instruments and methodology used.
The book concludes by discussing specialised topics in stellar
astronomy, concentrating on the information derived from the
analysis of the light curves of variable stars and close binary
systems. It includes numerous bibliographic notes and a glossary of
terms. It is ideal for graduate students, academic researchers and
advanced amateurs interested in practical and observational
astronomy.
