Description
Covering topics of radio astronomy, this book contains graduate-level problems with carefully presented solutions. The problems are arranged following the content of the book "Tools of Radio Astronomy" by Rohlfs and Wilson (also available in this series) on a chapter-by-chapter basis. Some of these problems have been formulated to provide an extension to the material presented in "Tools of Radio Astronomy".
Reviews / Votes
From the reviews:"In your library you should have already another book, Tools of Radio Astronomy by Rohlfs and Wilson (A&A Library). The present text is its companion. Here we are given graduate level problems, chapter by chapter, with answers for that book. Now this sounds an excellent thing for students, does it not? The reviewer wishes he had had such help and guidance."
