Firstly to provide a handy quick source of ref erence of the terms, techniques, instruments, formulas, processes, etc. , for practising observers, whether it is their first look through someone else‘s small telescope, or whether they have spent decades building their own instruments, observing with them and are regularly producing results to rival those of the professionals. It is not principally aimed at professional observers, but in order to be sufficiently compre hensive for its intended audience, many entries have been included which will be relevant at that level. In particular though, the more esoteric parts of spectroscopy have not been included. References to specific observatories are included if their instrumentation includes optical telescopes over 1 m in diameter or radio dishes over 20 m. Individual entries for telescopes of 4 m or over are included, and for the larger radio instruments, plus other telescopes that may be of interest for historical or other reasons (for example the 1m Yerkes refractor). Spacecraft have generally not been included (apart from the Hubble space telescope) because their short working lives mean that | 出版日期 | Book 2002 | 关键词 | astronomy; dictionary; instruments; observatory; spectroscopy; telescope | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4471-0175-8 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-85233-559-5 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4471-0175-8 | copyright | Springer-Verlag London 2002 |
