A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The equipment is now so nearly complete and the plan of investigation so definitely outlined that a brief description of some typical methods and results may be of service to the visitor and to the general reader interested in the progress of astrophysical research. OLD METHODS AND NEW. An observatory, like any other laboratory of research, may concentrate its attention upon either one of two widely different objects: the accumulation of great stores of data in existing departments of knowledge, or the opening up and exploration of new fields of investigation. In both cases extensive series of routine observations are required, but the point of view and the mode of attack are essentially different. In known fields, long since efficiently occupied, standard methods of observation and instruments obtainable from skilled makers are available for use. With the aid of such instruments and methods, perhaps modified and perfected in various details, observations of great precision and importance can be obtained.
