  • The Science of Time 2016

    Time in Astronomy & Society, Past, Present and Future

    Edited by Ludwig Combrinck, Catherine Hohenkerk, Pavel Gabor, Elisa Felicitas Arias, P. Kenneth Seidelmann ...
    Series series Springer Nature Proceedings excluding Computer Science
    The uses of time in astronomy - from pointing telescopes, coordinating and processing observations, predicting ephemerides, cultures, religious practices, history, businesses, determining Earth orientation, analyzing time-series data and in many other ways - represent a broad sample of how time is used throughout human society and in space. Time and its reciprocal, frequency, is the most ... Read more

  • Astronomical Measurement

    A Concise Guide

    by Andy Lawrence ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book on astronomical measurement takes a fresh approach to teaching the subject. After discussing some general principles, it follows the chain of measurement through atmosphere, imaging, detection, spectroscopy, timing, and hypothesis testing. The various wavelength regimes are covered in each section, emphasising what is the same, and what is different. The author concentrates on the ... Read more

  • Probing Cosmic Dark Matter and Dark Energy with Weak Gravitational Lensing Statistics

    by Masato Shirasaki ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    In this book the applicability and the utility of two statistical approaches for understanding dark energy and dark matter with gravitational lensing measurement are introduced.For cosmological constraints on the nature of dark energy, morphological statistics called Minkowski functionals (MFs) to extract the non-Gaussian information of gravitational lensing are studied. Measuring lensing MFs from ... Read more

  • The Rise and Fall of the Fifth Force

    Discovery, Pursuit, and Justification in Modern Physics

    by Ephraim Fischbach, Allan Franklin ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book provides the reader with a detailed and captivating account of the story where, for the first time, physicists ventured into proposing a new force of nature beyond the four known ones - the electromagnetic, weak and strong forces, and gravitation - based entirely on the reanalysis of existing experimental data.Back in 1986, Ephraim Fischbach, Sam Aronson, Carrick Talmadge and their ...

  • Production Yield of Muon-Induced Neutrons in Lead

    Measured at the Modane Underground Laboratory

    by Holger Kluck ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The work presented in this book is a major step towards understanding and eventually suppressing background in the direct search for dark matter particles scattering off germanium detectors. Although the flux of cosmic muons is reduced by many orders of magnitude in underground laboratories, the remaining energetic muons induce neutrons through various processes, neutrons that can potentially ...

  • Space-Time Reference Systems

    by Michael Soffel, Ralf Langhans ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The high accuracy of modern astronomical spatial-temporal reference systems has made them considerably complex. This book offers a comprehensive overview of such systems. It begins with a discussion of ‘The Problem of Time’, including recent developments in the art of clock making (e.g., optical clocks) and various time scales. The authors address the definitions and realization of spatial ... Read more

  • X-ray Studies of the Central Engine in Active Galactic Nuclei with Suzaku

    by Hirofumi Noda ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The aim of this research was to use the X-ray satellite Suzaku to establish a picture of a central engine that effectively converts the gravitational energy of accreting matter onto the supermassive black hole to a huge amount of radiation in an active galactic nucleus. Although the engine is known to consist of a Comptonizing corona and an accretion disk, its image has remained unclear because ... Read more

  • General Theory of Light Propagation and Imaging Through the Atmosphere

    by T. Stewart McKechnie ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book lays out a new, general theory of light propagation and imaging through Earth’s turbulent atmosphere. Current theory is based on the – now widely doubted – assumption of Kolmogorov turbulence. The new theory is based on a generalized atmosphere, the turbulence characteristics of which can be established, as needed, from readily measurable properties of point-object, or star, images.The ...

  • Suzaku Studies of White Dwarf Stars and the Galactic X-ray Background Emission

    by Takayuki Yuasa ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This thesis presents a study of the origin of an apparently extended X-ray emission associated with the Galactic ridge. The study was carried out with broadband spectra obtained from mapping observations in the Galactic bulge region conducted in 2005–2010 by the Suzaku space X-ray observatory. The spectra were analyzed with a newly constructed X-ray spectral model of an accreting white dwarf ... Read more
