Innovative observing techniques, near-infrared detectors with quantum efficiencies in excess of 90%, highly specialised instruments as well as advanced data reduction techniques have allowed major breakthroughs in various areas like exoplanets, star-forming regions, the supermassive black hole in the Galactic center, and the high-redshift Universe. In this book, the reader will be introduced to the basic concepts of how to prepare near-infrared observations with maximized scientific return. Equal weight is given to all aspects of the data reduction for both - imaging and spectroscopy. Information is also provided on the state of the art instrumentation available and planned, on detector technology or the physics of the atmosphere, all of which influence the preparation and execution of observations and data reduction techniques. The beginner but also the expert will find alot of information in compact form which is otherwise widely dispersed across the internet or other sources. 410 0$aAstrophysics and Space Science Library,$x2214-7985 ;$v467 606 $aAstronomy$vObservations 606 $aSignal processing 606 $aCoding theory 606 $aInformation theory 606 $aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques 606 $aDigital and Analog Signal Processing 606 $aCoding and Information Theory 615 0$aAstronomy 615 0$aSignal processing. 615 0$aCoding theory. 615 0$aInformation theory. 615 14$aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques. 615 24$aDigital and Analog Signal Processing. 615 24$aCoding and Information Theory. 676 $a520 676 $a522.683 700 $aHeidt$b Jochen$01250474 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910580140103321 996 $aAstronomy in the near-Infrared - Observing Strategies and Data Reduction Techniques$92898061 997 $aUNINA
