Dear All,
It is my pleasure to announce the availability of “Solar Astronomy”:
http://solar-astronomy-book.com/
This is the English translation of “Astronomie Solaire” including a lot of new additions such as:
- Introduction to Fabry-Perot etalon testing.
- Solar corona observation with a coronagraph.
- Spectroheliograph observation (measurement of sunspot temperature and magnetism, solar rotation, etc.)
- And a much enlarged chapter on solar radio astronomy.
The team of contributors now includes some faces familiar to the solar community Forum: Bob Yoesle (USA), Peter Zetner (Canada), Harald Paleske (Germany). And we are infinitely grateful to Ken Harrison (Autralia) and Peter Zetner for the English translation and to Jamey Jenkins (Solar Alpo, USA) for the proof reading.
We hope you enjoy reading it!
