9781332927968: Tests of Stellar Radiometers and Measurements of the Energy Distribution in the Spectra of 16 Stars

Synopsis

This book details the author's innovative experiments with stellar radiometry, a scientific method of measuring the thermal radiation intensity of stars using thermocouples. Beginning with an overview of the history of the field, the author describes the development of their experimental apparatus and methods for quantifying the data they collected. They then present their analysis of the spectral energy distribution of 16 stars, comparing their observations to theoretical models of blackbody radiation. The resulting insights shed light on the relationship between the spectral energy distribution and the temperature of stars, providing valuable information for understanding stellar evolution and the nature of the universe.
