Masers are observed at a range of scales - from comets, through star-forming clouds, to galactic nuclei - and have many astrophysical applications, for example measuring cosmological distances. Written for postgraduate students and professional researchers in molecular astrophysics, this volume is an up-to-date survey of the theory and observations of astrophysical maser sources and their use as astronomical tools. The book summarizes the history of the discovery of various maser molecules and lines, and discusses maser observations on various scales. The theory is discussed in detail, including the quantum-mechanical response of the molecules, before being linked to more general radiation ... Read more

About Malcolm Gray
Malcolm Gray is a Senior Lecturer at the Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics at the University of Manchester. Astrophysical masers have been a major theme in Dr Gray's research career, but he has also worked in the fields of astrophysical dust, the calculation of collision cross-sections for astrophysical molecules and radiation transfer.
