Exploration of the Solar System by Infrared Remote Sensing
Editorial Reviews
Review
From review of the First Edition: 'Hanel and coauthors are among the foremost practitioners of infrared remote sensing as applied to planetary exploration. Highly recommended for libraries maintaining a research collection in comparative planetology or atmospheric physics.' F. R. Chromey, Choice
'Because Hanel and colleagues have (rightly) concentrated on the underlying fundamental principles, their discussion will provide a useful reference for years to come. This book is a valuable resource volume which many planetary scientists and advanced graduate students would find worth consulting.' Bruce Fegley, Jr, Geochimica Et Cosmochimica Acta
'... presents an outstanding review and appraisal of the theory, instrumentation and interpretation of infrared planetary astronomy conducted mainly from spacecraft ... a lot of attention is directed toward spectroscopy, including some gorgeous Voyager emission spectra from the limb of Titan that show an exotic menagerie of hydrocarbons.' Joseph W. Chamberlain, American Scientist
Book Description
Fully revised, this new edition incorporates the latest technologies, new mission results and scientific discoveries. It also includes a fully updated bibliography to reflect the advances made in this field during the past ten years. All planets from Mercury to Pluto and many of their satellites, asteroids and comets are discussed. The presentation appeals to advanced students and professional planetary science researchers. First edition Hb (1992): 0-521-32699-0^
