  • Time: From Earth Rotation to Atomic Physics

    by Dennis D. McCarthy, P. Kenneth Seidelmann ...
    In the twenty-first century, we take the means to measure time for granted, without contemplating the sophisticated concepts on which our time scales are based. This volume presents the evolution of concepts of time and methods of time keeping up to the present day. It outlines the progression of time based on sundials, water clocks, and the Earth's rotation, to time measurement using pendulum ... Read more

  • 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

  • Trajectory Anomalies in Interplanetary Spacecraft

    A Method for Determining Accelerations Due to Thermal Emissions and New Mission Proposals

    by Frederico Francisco ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This thesis presents fundamental work that explains two mysteries concerning the trajectory of interplanetary spacecraft. For the first problem, the so-called Pioneer anomaly, a wholly new and innovative method was developed for computing all contributions to the acceleration due to onboard thermal sources. Through a careful analysis of all parts of the spacecraft Pioneer 10 and 11, the ... Read more

  • 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 ...

  • Dynamics of the Milky Way

    Tidal Streams and Extended Distribution Functions for the Galactic Disc

    by Jason Sanders ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This work presents a study of methods useful for modeling and understanding dynamical systems in the Galaxy. A natural coordinate system for the study of dynamical systems is the angle-action coordinate system. New methods for the approximation of the action-angle variables in general potentials are presented and discussed. These new tools are applied to the construction of dynamical models for ...

  • 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
