Introduction to Astronomical Photometry 2nd Edition Hardback: 6 (Cambridge Observing Handbooks for Research Astronomers, Series Number 6) - Tapa dura

Reviews from the first edition: 'This book usefully fills a gap between a simple popularist approach to photometry and a full-scale research monograph, and is a perfect starting-point for more advanced levels.' Europe Astronomy

'... good practical guide to the many pitfalls involved in calibrating the instrumental colour equation, full of sensible advice in program design and error analysis.' The Observatory

'Budding's book is a particularly good introduction to the art and science of photometry ... The presentation is very good throughout and I would recommend the book to any astronomer interested in photometry.' Nick James, Astronomy Now

'... a major rewrite of the first edition and includes much new material. ... this new edition recognises the important role which CCDs now play in this field. ... it is well written and readable and will repay careful study with a deeper understanding of the fundamentals of photometry than is offered by some other introductory texts. ... a comprehensive set of bibliographical notes and a list of references ... enable the reader to seek further information ... and greatly extend the usefulness of the book.' Journal of the British Astronomical Association

'...well indexed ...this book has considerable breadth and depth, and will repay detailed study.' The Observatory
