Handbook of Pulsar Astronomy Paperback / softback
by D. R. (Jodrell Bank, University of Manchester) Lorimer, M. (Jodrell Bank, University of Manchester) Kramer
Part of the Cambridge Observing Handbooks for Research Astronomers series
Paperback / softback
Description
Radio pulsars are rapidly rotating highly magnetized neutron stars.
Studies of these fascinating objects have provided applications in solid-state physics, general relativity, galactic astronomy, astrometry, planetary physics and even cosmology.
Most of these applications and much of what we know about neutron stars are derived from single-dish radio observations using state-of-the-art receivers and data acquisition systems.
This comprehensive 2004 book is a unique resource that brings together the key observational techniques, background information and a review of results, including the discovery of a double pulsar system.
Useful software tools are provided which can be used to analyse example data, made available on a related website.
This work will be of great value not only to graduate students but also to researchers wishing to carry out and interpret a wide variety of radio pulsar observations.
