In order to analyze the light of cosmic objects, particularly at
extremely great distances, spectroscopy is the workhorse of
astronomy. In the era of very large telescopes, long-term
investigations are mainly performed with small professional
instruments. Today they can be done using self-designed
spectrographs and highly efficient CCD cameras, without the need
for large financial investments. This book explains the basic
principles of spectroscopy, including the fundamental optical
constraints and all mathematical aspects needed to understand the
working principles in detail. It covers the complete theoretical
and practical design of standard and Echelle spectrographs. Readers
are guided through all necessary calculations, enabling them to
engage in spectrograph design. The book also examines data
acquisition with CCD cameras and fiber optics, as well as the
constraints of specific data reduction and possible sources of
error. In closing it briefly highlights some main aspects of the
research on massive stars and spectropolarimetry as an extension of
spectroscopy. The book offers a comprehensive introduction to
spectroscopy for students of physics and astronomy, as well as a
valuable resource for amateur astronomers interested in learning
the principles of spectroscopy and spectrograph design.
