Synopsis

Our goal is to produce a comprehensive handbook of the current state of the art of astronomical instrumentation with a forward view encompassing the next decade. The target audience is graduate students with an interest in astronomical instrumentation, as well as practitioners interested in learning about the state of the art in another wavelength band or field closely related to the one in which they currently work. We assume a working knowledge of the fundamental theory: optics, semiconductor physics, etc. The purpose of this handbook is to bring together some of the leading experts in the world to discuss the frontier of astronomical instrumentation across the electromagnetic spectrum and extending into multimessenger astronomy.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

David N Burrows is Professor of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the Pennsylvania State University, who led the team that built and operated the X-ray Telescope on NASA's Neil Gehrels Swift satellite from 1998 to 2020. His research interests include X-ray instrumentation, gamma-ray burst afterglows and supernova remnants. With over 300 refereed publications, he has contributed to many breakthroughs in the field of X-ray astronomy, such as the discovery of X-ray shadows by interstellar clouds, the first X-ray CCD observations (of SN1987A and Puppis A), the first precise localization of a short GRB afterglow, and the discovery of relativistic jet emission from a tidal disruption event. Burrows has been included several times in the list of top 1% highly cited researchers in the field of Space Science. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and has won the Maria and Eric Muhlmann Award and the Bruno Rossi Prize.
