As demonstrated by five Nobel Prizes in physics, radio astronomy
has contributed greatly to our understanding of the Universe. Yet
for too long, there has been no comprehensive textbook on radio
astronomy for undergraduate students. This two-volume set of
introductory textbooks is exclusively devoted to radio astronomy,
with extensive discussions of telescopes, observation methods, and
astrophysical processes that are relevant for this exciting field.
The first volume, Fundamentals of Radio Astronomy: Observational
Methods, discusses radio astronomy instrumentation and the
techniques to conduct successful observations. The second volume,
Fundamentals of Radio Astronomy: Astrophysics, discusses the
physical processes that give rise to radio emission, presents
examples of astronomical objects that emit by these mechanisms, and
illustrates how the relevant physical parameters of astronomical
sources can be obtained from the radio observations. Requiring no
prior knowledge of astronomy, the two volumes are ideal textbooks
for radio astronomy courses at the undergraduate or graduate level,
particularly those that emphasize radio wavelength instrumentation
and observational techniques or the astrophysics of radio sources.
The set enables instructors to pick and choose topics from the two
volumes that best fit their courses. Features: Explores radio
astronomy instruments and techniques that are important to enable
observations Describes astrophysical processes that produce the
radio emissions observed in different types of astronomical objects
Includes numerous worked examples to demonstrate how the methods
are used to solve problems, in addition to advanced material for
students with more extensive physics and mathematics backgrounds
