This textbook presents the established sciences of optical,
infrared, and radio astronomy as distinct research areas, focusing
on the science targets and the constraints that they place on
instrumentation in the different domains. It aims to bridge the gap
between specialized books and practical texts, presenting the state
of the art in different techniques. For each type of astronomy, the
discussion proceeds from the orders of magnitude for observable
quantities that drive the building of instrumentation and the
development of advanced techniques. The specific telescopes and
detectors are then presented, together with the techniques used to
measure fluxes and spectra. Finally, the instruments and their
limits are discussed to assist readers in choice of setup, planning
and execution of observations, and data reduction. The volume also
includes worked examples and problem sets to improve student
understanding; tables and figures in chapters su mmarize the state
of the art of instrumentation and techniques.
