Observational Molecular Astronomy: Exploring the Universe Using Molecular Line Emissions

by Serena Viti, David A. Williams, David A. Williams

Book Overview

Molecular line emissions offer researchers exciting opportunities to learn about the evolutionary state of the Milky Way and distant galaxies. This text provides a detailed introduction to molecular astrophysics and an array of useful techniques for observing astronomical phenomena at millimetre and submillimetre wavelengths. After discussing the theoretical underpinnings of molecular observation, the authors catalogue suitable molecular tracers for...
