商品描述

This book provides a solid foundation in the Python programming language, numerical methods, and data analysis, all embedded within the context of astronomy and astrophysics. It not only enables students to learn programming with the aid of examples from these fields but also provides ample motivation for engagement in independent research. The book opens by outlining the importance of computational methods and programming algorithms in contemporary astronomical and astrophysical research, showing why programming in Python is a good choice for beginners. The performance of basic calculations with Python is then explained with reference to, for example, Kepler's laws of planetary motion and gravitational and tidal forces. Here, essential background knowledge is provided as necessary. Subsequent chapters are designed to teach the reader to define and use important functions in Python and to utilize numerical methods to solve differential equations and landmark dynamical problems in astrophysics. Finally, the analysis of astronomical data is discussed, with various hands-on examples as well as guidance on astronomical image analysis and applications of artificial neural networks.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書提供了 Python 程式語言、數值方法和數據分析的堅實基礎，所有內容都嵌入在天文學和天體物理學的背景中。它不僅使學生能夠通過這些領域的範例學習程式設計，還提供了充足的動機來參與獨立研究。本書首先概述了計算方法和程式演算法在當代天文學和天體物理學研究中的重要性，顯示為什麼 Python 程式設計對初學者來說是一個良好的選擇。接著，將基本計算的性能與例如開普勒的行星運動定律以及重力和潮汐力進行解釋。在這裡，必要的基本背景知識也會提供。隨後的章節旨在教導讀者如何定義和使用 Python 中的重要函數，並利用數值方法來解決微分方程和天體物理學中的重要動力學問題。最後，將討論天文數據的分析，並提供各種實作範例以及有關天文圖像分析和人工神經網絡應用的指導。

作者簡介

Wolfram Schmidt is Head of IT and senior researcher at the Hamburg Observatory. He holds a Dipl.-Ing. in Physics and an M.Phil. in Astrophysics and received his Dr. rer. nat. from the Technical University of Munich and the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics, Garching. He completed his Habilitation with a thesis on the numerical modeling of astrophysical turbulence. Dr. Schmidt has worked on numerical simulations of a variety of astrophysical systems, ranging from thermonuclear supernovae through star-forming clouds to cosmological structure formation. Currently he is conducting research projects in the areas of computational cosmology and magnetohydrodynamic turbulence with international collaborators. In addition to his research activities, he teaches high-performance computing at Hamburg University and acts as a consultant to the Northern Supercomputing Alliance (HLRN).

Marcel Völschow is a research associate at Hamburg University. He holds BSc and MSc degrees in Physics and the subject of his doctorate is magnetic processes in binary stars. While being rooted in theoretical astrophysics, his research also covers the processing and analysis of large survey data sets. Whether working in public outreach, high school labs, or academic teaching, he has always been motivated by enthusiasm for the beauty of the universe. He is the author of a number of articles in peer-reviewed journals.
