Hardback. Zustand: New. A volume in Springer's Astrophysics and Space Science Proceedings series, edited by Harley A. Thronson, Massimo Stiavelli, and Alexander G. G. M. Tielens, gathering papers from a conference on the James Webb Space Telescope and the observatories expected to operate alongside it. The collection opens with a chapter by Jonathan P. Gardner and collaborators describing JWST itself as a large, cold, infrared-optimised space observatory intended for orbit around the second Sun-Earth Lagrange point, and proceeds through the mission's principal science themes, among them the end of the cosmic dark ages and reionisation, the assembly of galaxies, and the physics and chemistry of the interstellar medium. Subsequent contributions consider complementary facilities under construction or planned for the same period, including low-frequency radio arrays designed to map the redshifted 21 cm hydrogen line and large-aperture ground-based telescopes for imaging the first galaxies. Contributors include A. G. G. M. Tielens, Timothy M. Heckman, Steven R. Furlanetto, Jason X. Prochaska, Jason Tumlinson, and Harley A. Thronson.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), planned for operation in about five years, will have the capability to investigate - and answer - some of the most challenging questions in astronomy. Although motivated and designed to study the very early Universe, the performance of the observatory's instruments over a very wide wavelength range will allow the world's scientific community unequaled ability to study cosmic phenomena as diverse as small bodies in the Solar System and the formation of galaxies.As part of preparation to use JWST, a conference was held in Tucson, Arizona in 2007 that brought together astronomers from around the world to discuss the mission, other major facilities that will operate in the coming decade, and major scientific goals for them. This book is a compilation of those presentations by some of the leading researchers from all branches of astronomy. This book also includes a 'pre-history' of JWST, describing the lengthy process and some of the key individuals that initiated early work on the concepts that would evolve to become the premier space observatory of the next decade.…
