The specific telescopes and detectors are then presented, together with the techniques used to measure fluxes and spectra.  Finally, the instruments and their limits are discussed to assist readers in choice of setup, planning and execution of observations, and data reduction. The volume also includes worked examples and problem sets to improve student understanding; tables and figures in chapters su mmarize the state of the art of instrumentation and techniques.UNITEXT for Physics,2198-7882Observations, AstronomicalAstronomy—ObservationsAstrophysicsCosmologyAstronomy, Observations and Techniqueshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22014Astrophysics and Astroparticleshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22022Cosmologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22049Observations, Astronomical.Astronomy—Observations.Astrophysics.Cosmology.Astronomy, Observations and Techniques.Astrophysics and Astroparticles.Cosmology.522.682Poggiani Rosaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut821932MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254603803321Optical, Infrared and Radio Astronomy2247678UNINA
