Taking a cross-disciplinary approach to the subject, \u003cstrong\u003eTerahertz Astronomy\u003c\/strong\u003e explores THz astrophysics and the technologies that make this rapidly evolving field possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first four chapters of the book discuss the origin and interpretation of THz light in astrophysical sources. The remaining five chapters present an overview of the technologies used to collect and detect THz light. Every chapter contains worked-out examples and exercises. The author explains each topic as intuitively as possible and includes the equations needed for real-life astrophysical applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn just a few years, the number of active THz researchers has substantially grown due to increased interest in terrestrial remote sensing at THz frequencies. This book provides researchers with both the background science and technology to interpret THz observations and design, build, and deploy THz astronomical instrumentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher K.
