Synopsis

Drawing inspiration from the author's work published in the astronomical journal from 1913 to 1915, this book chronicles the team's experience deploying transportable astronomical equipment for radio communication and precision astronomical observation in the early 20th century. It begins with an overview of the basic theory and physical properties of radio technology as it was used in the development of these methods, then moves on to detail their experiences of the expeditions, focusing on the numerous novel applications of the technology, including the precise measurement of stellar positions and timing of radio signals. The author draws on the data to analyze and characterize the subtle irregularities in stellar motion and the atmosphere, and the sensitivity of the equipment to variations in atmospheric conditions. This book is a fascinating look at the dawn of precision radio astronomy through the lens of two pioneers in the field.
