An Introduction to Radio Astronomy Book

Radio astronomy uses unique observational techniques and offers the only way to investigate many phenomena in the Universe. This book provides both a clear introduction to radio telescopes, and a broad overview of the radio universe. In the first half, we are shown clearly how radio telescopes work--from basic antennas through to full aperture synthesis arrays. In the second half, a broad review is provided of radio observations of our galaxy, stars, pulsars, quasars and the Universe as a whole.Read More
