The author describes how these very differences led the Netherlands to become one of the world leaders in radio astronomy. Dominated by the Leiden astronomer Jan Hendrik Oort, the field embarked on an era of success, and to this day, the country still holds a leading position..To tell this story, the book focuses on three key events in the period 1940-1970, namely the construction of the radio telescopes in Kootwijk (1948), in Dwingeloo (1956), and in Westerbork (1970). These projects show that Dutch radio astronomers must not be seen as merely scientists, but also as strategic lobbyists, networkers and organizers in a specific political and economic context. It was in the process of planning, designing and constructing these instruments that the interests of the astronomers, industrial partners, politicians and lobby groups merged to create today‘s existing research centers for radio astronomy.. | 出版日期 | Book 2017 | 关键词 | Jan hendrik Oort; Kootwijk radio telescope; Westerbork radio telescope; Marcel Minnaert; Dwingeloo radio | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-49079-3 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-84081-9 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-49079-3Series ISSN 2509-310X Series E-ISSN 2509-3118 | issn_series | 2509-310X | copyright | Springer International Publishing AG 2017 |
