Courses covering this subject are, therefore, very important in the education of the next generation of scientists who will continue to explore the Cosmos.\n\nThis textbook, the second of two volumes, presents an extensive introduction to the astrophysical processes that are studied in radio astronomy. Suitable for undergraduate courses on radio astronomy, it discusses the physical phenomena that give rise to radio emissions, presenting examples of astronomical objects, and illustrating how the relevant physical parameters of astronomical sources can be obtained from radio observations.\n\nUnlike other radio astronomy textbooks, this book provides students with an understanding of the background and the underlying principles, with derivations available for most of the equations used in the textbook.\n\nFeatures:\n\nPresents a clear and concise discussion of the important astronomical concepts and physical processes that give rise to both radio continuum and radio spectral line emission\n\nDiscusses radio emissions from a variety of astronomical sources and shows how the observed emissions can be used to derive the physical properties of these sources\n\nIncludes numerous examples using actual data from the literature\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 036777982X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: GBV.036777982X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Snell, Ronald L.|Marr, Jonathan|Kurtz, Stanley\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Has a sturdy binding with some shelf wear.
