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. 410 0$aUNITEXT for Physics,$x2198-7882 606 $aObservations, Astronomical 606 $aAstronomy?Observations 606 $aAstrophysics 606 $aCosmology 606 $aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22014 606 $aAstrophysics and Astroparticles$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22022 606 $aCosmology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22049 615 0$aObservations, Astronomical. 615 0$aAstronomy?Observations. 615 0$aAstrophysics. 615 0$aCosmology. 615 14$aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques. 615 24$aAstrophysics and Astroparticles. 615 24$aCosmology. 676 $a522.682 700 $aPoggiani$b Rosa$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0821932 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254603803321 996 $aOptical, Infrared and Radio Astronomy$92247678 997 $aUNINA
