Radio Recombination Lines
Their Physics and Astronomical Applications
Av M.A. Gordon, R.L. Sorochenko
Häftad, 2009
552 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Recombination lines at radio wavelengths have been - and still are - a p- erful tool for modern astronomy. For more than 30years, they have allowed astronomers to probe the gases from which stars form. They have even been detected in the Sun. In addition, observations of these spectral lines …
