Concise, thorough, readable introduction to light, human perception of it, how we measure & quantify it, how cameras work, and all the complexities of its interactions with planetary surfaces. Does not shy away from the math, but explains everything in clear language, with helpfully bolded key words and section titles, and well-chosen figures. Highly recommended for anyone beginning (or continuing) the study of planetary imaging. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Introducing planetary photometry as a quantitative remote sensing tool, this handbook demonstrates how reflected light can be measured and used to investigate the physical properties of bodies in our Solar System. The author explains how data gathered from telescopes and spacecraft are processed and used to infer properties such as the size, shape, albedo, and composition of celestial objects including planets, moons, asteroids, and comets. Beginning with an overview of the history and background theory of photometry, later chapters delve into the physical principles behind commonly used photometric models and the mechanics of observation, data reduction, and analysis. Real-world examples, problems, and case studies are included, all at an introductory level suitable for new graduate students, planetary scientists, amateur astronomers and researchers looking for an overview of this field.
