Emission lines provide a powerful tool to study the physical
properties and chemical compositions of astrophysical objects in
the Universe, from the first stars to objects in our galaxy. The
analysis of emission lines allows us to estimate the star formation
rate and initial mass function of ionizing stellar populations, and
the properties of active galactic nuclei. This book presents
lectures from the eighteenth Winter School of the Canary Islands
Astrophysics Institute (IAC), devoted to emission lines and the
astrophysical objects that produce them. Written by prestigious
researchers and experienced observers, it covers the formation of
emission lines and the different sources that produce them. It
shows how emission lines in different wavelengths, from ultraviolet
to near infrared, can provide essential information on
understanding the formation and evolution of astrophysical objects.
It also includes practical tutorials for data reduction, making
this a valuable reference for researchers and graduate students.
