Astronomical Spectroscopy: An Introduction to the Atomic and Molecular Physics of Astronomical Spectroscopy (3rd Edition) : World Scientific Publishing : 9781786347077 : 1786347075 : 28 Apr 2019 : "In astronomy, spectroscopy is the technique that often provides most insight into the physical make-up of an object. In his book, Prof. Jonathan Tennyson (University College London) sets out to connect observed spectral line features to the quantummechanical properties of atoms and molecules in the line-producing, radiating media. He covers the whole electromagnetic spectrum from [gamma]-rays to radio waves. As expert in molecular spectroscopy, Tennyson puts emphasis on molecules, and the systematics inline spectra. In his foreword, he rightly stresses the role of molecules for spectra in the infrared and mm-range which are covered by (at the time of publication) upcoming observing facilities like Herschel, JWST, and ALMA. He leaves out aspects relatedto the modeling of spectra and the descr
