This presents extremely interesting problems when one  wishes to produce digitised sky atlases, to archive the digitised  material, to develop sophisticated devices to do the digitising, and  to create software to procecc the vast amounts of data. All these  activities are necessary to be able to do astronomy. \u003cbr\u003e  One such activity is the important, large-scale optical identification  of objects which also emit radiation at other wavelengths. Other  activities of the past decade include a multiplicity of surveys that  have been made on galaxies and clusters of galaxies. \u003cbr\u003e  This book treats, in five sections, the existing and future surveys,  their digitisation and their impact on astronomy. It is a reference  for people in the field and for those who wish to engage in using or  producing sky surveys. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-11-13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401050913\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-2472-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 524\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398483046540,"sku":"9789401050913","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401050913.jpg?v=1776428276","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789401050913","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
