Enhanced sensitivity radio telescopes are producing dramatic results in a wide range of areas in astronomy. This timely volume of review articles shows how high sensitivity is leading to a much improved understanding of radio spectral line analysis, radio continuum observations of galaxies, cosmology, pulsars, and radio emission from stars. The contributions address the new and enhanced instruments now available and also disclose a glimpse of the exciting telescopes being planned for the future. This volume provides graduate students and researchers with an up-to-date and wide-ranging review of the new and future research possible with high-sensitivity radio telescopes.

Book Description
Enhanced sensitivity radio telescopes are producing dramatic results. An international conference was held in Jodrell Bank to take stock of these advances. This timely volume presents the review articles presented by a host of world experts who gathered at this meeting. We are shown how high sensitivity is advancing our understanding in radio spectral line analysis, radio continuum observations of galaxies, cosmology, pulsars, and radio emission from stars; what new and enhanced instruments are now available and those planned for the future. This volume provides graduate students and researchers with an up-to-date and wide-ranging review of the new and future research possible with high-sensitivity radio telescopes.
