This is a textbook for undergraduate courses on radio astronomy.
Written by an active professor and researcher in the field, it
begins by explaining why conducting observations at radio
frequencies is so important, then reviews essential physics
concepts corresponding to a sophomore-level curriculum or higher.
Next, the book introduces students to single dish telescopes and
interferometers. The most commonly encountered emission mechanisms
seen in radio astronomy are then explained, along with examples of
astronomical sources broadly divided into the types of sources seen
in galactic and extragalactic observations. Each chapter provides
examples and exercises suitable for homework assignments. Also
included is an appendix of useful supplementary material.
Altogether, the book is a comprehensive, yet digestible starting
point for physics and astronomy undergraduates looking to
understand the basics of radio astronomy.
