Astronomischer Berechnungs-Cocktail(Broda)

Größeres Bild		0.400 kg
	Der Einstieg in die Himmelsmechanik ist nicht ganz einfach. Zu ihr führt eben kein Königsweg. Erschwert wird er durch den Umstand, dass es kaum geeignete Literatur in deutscher Sprache gibt, die dem Anfänger das Eindringen in die zunächst etwas trocken erscheinende Materie erlaubt. Die wenigen Bücher zur Himmelsmechanik in deutscher Sprache sind ohne gründliche mathematische und physikalische Vorkenntnisse nicht zu bewältigen. Zudem sind ihre Darstellungen meist zu komprimiert. Vorliegendes Werk von Wolf Broda hingegen ermöglicht es fast mühelos, sich die wesentlichen Grundlagen der Himmelsmechanik fast spielerisch anzueignen. Mathematische Vorkenntnisse sind nicht von Nöten – es genügt die Beherrschung der vier Grundrechenarten. Alles Weitere wird in didaktisch geschickter Weise dem Leser und der Leserin behutsam beigebracht. Als Hochschullehrer im Fachbereich Maschinenbau hat Professor Wolf Broda seine jahrzehntelange Lehrerfahrung einbringen können – in einer in der deutschsprachigen Literatur einzigartigen Weise.

Elements Of Solar Eclipses 1951-2200

Größeres Bild
	This book contains Besselian elements for the 570 solar eclipses during the 250 years between 1951 and 2200. The elements were calculated using highly accurate modern theories of the Sun and Moon developed at the Bureau des Longitudes of Paris. This is the first readily available computation of Besselian elements to use these theories. Formulae are provided for the calculation of local circumstances, points of the central line or the northern and southern limits, etc. These algorithms can easily be programmed on a home computer and checked against numerical examples included in this book.

	PLANETARY PROGRAMS AND TABLES FROM -4000 TO +2800, Tables for the motion of the Sun and the Five Bright Planets from -4000 to +2800 and Tables for the motion of Uranus and Neptune from +1600 to +2800 by Bretagnon and Simon with Foreword by Meeus, 8.50" by 11.00", approx. 165 pages, softbound, 1 Lb. 5 Ozs. ship wt. $19.95. The tables and computer programs detailed in this book allow the computation of the positions of the Sun, and 7 planets with a precision better than 0.01 degree over the period -4000, +2000 for Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn and +1600 to +2800 for Uranus and Neptune.

Astronomical Algorithms 2nd Edition (Jean Meeus)

Größeres Bild		0.900 kg
	This handbook explains how to do astronomical calculations with a calculator or computer. Meeus covers everything from determining the tilt of Saturn's rings to precessing a star's coordinates for any epoch. The new edition includes new appendixes and added chapters about the Jewish and Moslem Calendars, and the satellites of Saturn. Numerical examples abound.

Mathematical Astronomy Morsels (Jean Meeus)

	Interested in the frequency of blue moons? Wonder how often the planets group in the same area of the sky? You'll find what you need in this masterful volume devoted to the detection of patterns and cycles in sky phenomena. Meeus offers detailed investigations into everything from planetary motions and lunar phases to the variability of sunspots and the dates of Easter.

Mathematical Astronomy Morsels III(Jean Meeus)

	Mit diesem Buch liegt der dritte Band von Jean Meeus´ "Leckerbissen der mathematischen Astronomie" vor. Es ist - wie die beiden Vorgängerbände - eine Sammlung verschiedener Abhandlungen zu einzelnen Fragestellungen der Ephemeridenrechnung und der beobachtenden Astronomie.

Modern Astrometry (Jean Kovalevesky)

Größeres Bild		0.800 kg
	The book is an introduction to practical astrometry, dealing with the determination of positions, motions, distances and dimensions of celestial bodies ranging from quasars to artificial satellites. The main part is devoted to the description of instruments and observing techniques, and also includes the basic properties of optical instruments and a detailed description of the atmospheric effects on observations. A brief summary of the main phenomena in positional astronomy and of data treatment is given. Although classical astrometric methods are described, emphasis is put on new, more precise techniques such as CCD, optical and radio interferometry, space astrometry, etc. For this 2nd edition, the release of the Hipparcos and Tycho catalogs, the rise in CCD astrometry and the adoption of a new celestial reference frame by the IAU led to a significant modification of the text. And, especially, the outlook for astrometry has been completely rewritten.

More Mathematical Astronomy Morsels (Jean Meeus)

	This sequel to Mathematical Astronomy Morsels is filled with fun facts and figures about celestial phenomena. Included are chapters on conjunctions, eclipses, closest planetary approaches, and even tidbits like the times when Jupiter appears to be “moonless” and the dates of planetary transits as viewed from Pluto. There are 75 subjects covered in all.

Mathematical Astronomy Morsels IV(Jean Meeus)

Größeres Bild		0.500 kg
	In his Preface to Mathematical Morsels III Jean Meeus writes: We are living in a period of important astrophysical and cosmological research. Many astronomical journals and scientific books deal with subjects such as birth and evolution of stars, black holes, dark matter, gamma-ray bursts, supernova remnants or collisions between galaxies. Of course this is important matter, but one almost seems to have forgotten the `old' astronomy, the classical, mathematical science of the sky. And yet, without this fundamental astronomy modern research on the universe new would never have been possible. And to this Roger Sinnott responded “In his Preface the author hints that some readers might accuse him of practicing “old” astronomy. Don't let that fool you. The problems he tackles would have fascinated astronomers of the early 20 th and prior centuries, but those poor souls faced a brick wall of computational difficulty. They had to work out all their answers laboriously, with a pencil and paper. Freed, from that limitation, the author uses today's computers to address each topic with a rigor and finesse beyond the wildest dreams of any old-time practitioner.
