Closer to home, in the Milky Way galaxy, radio astronomers listen patiently to the ticking of pulsars that tell of star death and states of matter of awesome densities. All of this happens out there in the universe hidden from our eyes, even when aided by the Hubble Space Telescope..This is the story of radio astronomy, of how radio waves are generated by stars, supernova, quasars, colliding galaxies and by the very beginnings of the universe itself. The author discusses what radio astronomers are doing in the New Mexico desert, in a remote valley in Puerto Rico, and in the green Pocahontas Valley in West Virginia, as well as dozens of other remote sites around the world. With each of these observatories, the scientists collect and analyze their data, "listening" to the radio signals from space in order to learn what, or perhaps who, is out there as well. The author specifically highlights enormous changes that have occurred in the field over the past 50 years, including the political realit | 出版日期 | Book 2015Latest edition | 关键词 | ALMA and Star Forming Regions; Galactic Radio Nebulae; Interstellar Hydrogen; Interstellar Molecules; Qu | 版次 | 3 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-13422-2 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-13421-5 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-13422-2Series ISSN 1614-659X Series E-ISSN 2197-6651 | issn_series | 1614-659X | copyright | Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015 |
