Description for Astronomical Masers
Hardback. Offers coverage of the interstellar maser phenomenon. This book provides coverage of the basic background concepts required for an understanding of line formation and radiative transfer. It then describes the theoretical and phenomenological aspects of interstellar masers, their formation sites and the inversion mechanisms. Series: Astrophysics and Space Science Library. Num Pages: 365 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PGM; PHVB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 22. Weight in Grams: 698.
One of the most spectacular discoveries of molecular astronomy has been the detection of maser emission. The same radiation that is generated in the laboratory only with elaborate, special equipment occurs naturally in interstellar space. This intense radiation probes the smallest structures that can be studied with radio telescopes. By a fortunate coincidence maser radiation is generated in both star forming regions and the envelopes of late-type stars. The early and late stages in the life of a star are considered to be the most interesting phases of stellar evolution. Maser emission ... Read more

Reviews for Astronomical Masers
` The book is an essential purchase for workers in the field, and will also interest other astrophysicists and researchers in related areas of physics. ' Nature Volume 357 'The book is both well written and thorough, and the paperback edition is reasonably good value, given the somewhat specialized subject ... Read more
