E-grāmata: Pulsar Astronomy

From reviews of the previous edition(s): '[ The new edition] covers a broad range of topics in a concise way, and it is particularly strong in its discussions of pulsar emission phenomenology, pulsars as probes of the interstellar medium and timing irregularities in young pulsars With its breadth and clear presentation, the new edition will continue to be a valuable introduction for graduate students and others.' Stephen E. Thorsett, Princeton University, Physics Today 'For anyone starting research, or preparing a graduate lecture course, this comprehensive authoritative, and readable introduction to pulsars, with some interesting historical asides, is strongly recommended.' Antony Hewish, University of Cambridge, The Observatory '[ T]he book has much evolved since its first edition the book remains the best textbook if people want to learn about pulsars and pulsar astronomy The vast experience of the authors, who are world-leading experts in this field, clearly shows the improved structure, combined with updates and the much-more-than-just cosmetic changes to various chapters make the book worth buying, even if one has an old edition. It feels simply easier to read and handle, while still providing a good balance between breadth and depth this is the 'go-to' introduction to the field.' Michael Kramer, The Observatory
