Book Description
The Fifty Year Almanac of Astronomical Events: 2021 to 2070 is a catalog listing a wide range of solar system phenomena as seen from Earth. Each year gives a concise compendium of the most conspicuous and/or significant astronomical events involving the Sun, Moon and the planets. The astronomical events include the following. - solar and lunar eclipses - phases of the Moon - apogees and perigees of the Moon - Equinoxes and Solstices of Earth - aphelion and perihelion (Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus) - oppositions and conjunctions of the planets - elongations of Mercury and Venus - close conjunctions of the Moon with the planets and bright stars - close conjunctions of planets with bright stars and other planets - peak of major meteor showers The date and time of each event is given in Greenwich Mean Time (= Coordinated Universal Time). With 200+ events each year, the Fifty Year Almanac includes over 10,200 astronomical events.

Fundamentals of Astrometry
Author : Jean Kovalevsky
Publisher : Cambridge University Press
Page : 422 pages
File Size : 48,61 MB
Release : 2004-06-03
Category : Science
ISBN : 9781139453172
Book Description
Astrometry encompasses all that is necessary to provide the positions and motions of celestial bodies. This includes observational techniques, instrumentation, processing and analysis of observational data, reference systems and frames, and the resulting astronomical phenomena. Astrometry is fundamental to all other fields of astronomy, from the pointing of telescopes, to navigation and guidance systems, to distance and motion determinations for astrophysics. In the last few decades, new observational techniques have enabled improvements in accuracy by orders of magnitude. Starting from basic principles, this book provides the fundamentals for this new astrometry at milli- and micro-arcsecond accuracies. Topics include: basics of general relativity; co-ordinate systems; vectors, tensors, quaternions, and observational uncertainties; determination and use of the celestial and terrestrial reference systems and frames; applications of new observational techniques; present and future star catalogues and double star astrometry. This comprehensive reference will be invaluable for graduate students and research astronomers.
Astrophysics Processes

File Size : 38,29 MB
Release : 2008-09-25
Category : Science
ISBN : 1139469584
Book Description
Bridging the gap between physics and astronomy textbooks, this book provides step-by-step physical and mathematical development of fundamental astrophysical processes underlying a wide range of phenomena in stellar, galactic, and extragalactic astronomy. The book has been written for upper-level undergraduates and beginning graduate students, and its strong pedagogy ensures solid mastery of each process and application. It contains over 150 tutorial figures, numerous examples of astronomical measurements, and 201 exercises. Topics covered include the Kepler–Newton problem, stellar structure, binary evolution, radiation processes, special relativity in astronomy, radio propagation in the interstellar medium, and gravitational lensing. Applications presented include Jeans length, Eddington luminosity, the cooling of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), the Sunyaev–Zeldovich effect, Doppler boosting in jets, and determinations of the Hubble constant. This text is a stepping stone to more specialized books and primary literature. Password-protected solutions to the exercises are available to instructors at www.cambridge.org/9780521846561.
