Description for Astronomical Masers
Paperback. One of the spectacular discoveries of molecular astronomy has been the detection of maser emission. This book provides coverage of the interstellar maser phenomenon. It 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 19. Weight in Grams: 1140.
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
