Description for Aperture Synthesis
Paperback. With an emphasis on aperture synthesis as well as the effects of turbulence in the Earth's atmosphere and techniques developed to overcome image degradation, this book covers all the fundamentals of stellar interferometry and includes dozens of illustrations. Series: Astronomy and Astrophysics Library. Num Pages: 489 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PG; TTB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 25. Weight in Grams: 684.
This book deals with the fundamentals of stellar interferometry with emphasis on aperture synthesis using sparse array of telescopes particularly at optical/IR wavelengths, the origin, properties, and optical effects of turbulence in the Earth's atmosphere, techniques developed to overcome image degradation. Studded with more than one hundred and fifty illustrations and tens of footnotes, it addresses the basic tricks of trade, current trend, motivation, methods, and path to future promise of true interferometry both from the ground and space. Also discussed are the technical challenge involved, such as beam transportation and recombination, detecting fringes using modern sensors, and image synthesis. ... Read more

About Swapan Kumar Saha
Professor S. K. Saha is with the Indian Institute of Astrophysics in Bangalore, India. He has spent one year (1988-89) at the Observatoire de la Cote d'Azur (formerly C.E.R.G.A) in Caussols, France. During this year he conducted research on the high angular features of stars, using the long baseline topical interferometer with a pair of 1.5 meter telescopes. He has ... Read more
