Is it a galaxy?).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpectroscopy also allows for the reconstruction of an image by digitizing the surface of a planetary nebula at a given wavelength. It is also possible to estimate the temperature of a star and even evaluate its density.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor each chapter, the author indicates the type of equipment to be used (optics, camera, spectrograph) and explains step-by-step the methodology for producing the necessary data (acquisition, data processing, etc.) using ten concrete examples that the author has tested himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is intended for amateur astronomers who are curious to learn what can be gleaned from a spectrum so that they can then make their own observations and analyses sometimes rivaling those of professionals!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Olivier Garde\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 2759840093\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9782759840090\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e EDP Sciences\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/02\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.45h x 6.30w x 0.84d","brand":"Olivier Garde","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440783601919,"sku":"9782759840090","price":91.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6ce725b7-7a94-427c-9bdc-eb39154a8c78.jpg?v=1777184783","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/10-experiments-in-astronomical-spectroscopy-olivier-garde-9782759840090","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
