商品簡介
In these proceedings from the October 2004 conference, participants cover topics including the growing number of alternative techniques and models for the quantitative analysis of spectral energy distribution appearing in the literature. Covering the interpretation of images of galaxies in the infrared, optical, and ultraviolet, general topics include radiation transfer, population synthesis and emission-line diagnostics, dust properties, modeling the spectral energy distributions of normal, starburst and gas-rich dwarf galaxies and active galactic nuclei, attenuation of stellar light in galaxies, and the effects of dust in rich redshift galaxies. Other papers include observational overviews from ground and space telescopes and a number of applications of models to data. Annotation c2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
