Produktbeschreibung

The first non-electromagnetic messengers from space were discovered in the early 20th century, but it is only now that multimessenger astronomy is coming into its own. Neutrino and gravitational-wave detections are being combined with cosmic-ray and electromagnetic messengers to illuminate our view of the cosmos, especially parts with high energy density and fast variation. In a companion book, Principles of Multimessenger Astronomy, the unique physics of each messenger are introduced, as well as the physics of their detection and interpretation, and their relationship to each other.

The aim of Multimessenger Astronomy in Practice is to aid an astronomer who is new to research in a particular area of multimessenger astronomy. Covering electromatic radiation from radio through to gamma-rays, and moving on to neutrino, cosmic-ray and gravitational wave astronomy, it gives the reader an overview of the celestial objects detected in each region, the unique methods used to measure them, as well as the principles and methods of data collection, calibration, reduction and analysis. Further chapters cover dark matter, the multimessenger search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI), and data science with machine learning. The book will help educate astronomy students taking a multimessenger approach, and add to the knowledge of professional astronomers about what is available in today's multimessenger toolbox.
