This book offers an essential compendium of astronomical
high-resolution techniques. Recent years have seen considerable
developments in such techniques, which are critical to advances in
many areas of astronomy. As reflected in the book, these techniques
can be divided into direct methods, interferometry, and
reconstruction methods, and can be applied to a huge variety of
astrophysical systems, ranging from planets, single stars and
binaries to active galactic nuclei, providing angular resolution in
the micro- to tens of milliarcsecond scales. Written by experts in
their fields, the chapters cover adaptive optics, aperture masking
imaging, spectra disentangling, interferometry, lucky imaging,
Roche tomography, imaging with interferometry, interferometry of
AGN, AGN reverberation mapping, Doppler- and magnetic imaging of
stellar surfaces, Doppler tomography, eclipse mapping, Stokes
imaging, and stellar tomography. This book is intended to enable a
next generation of astronomers to apply high-resolution techniques.
It informs readers on how to achieve the best angular resolution in
the visible and near-infrared regimes from diffraction-limited to
micro-arcsecond scales.
