MODERN DEVELOPMENTS IN SOLAR AND STELLAR SPECTROSCOPY

Lectures at the Astronomical Institute, Slovak Academy of Sciences

May 17—21, 2010

Recommended books

Ken Phillips

Here is a list of recommended book for the lecture course. It would be great if you could borrow at least 1 or 2 of them and skim through them before the course starts. I think it will help to understand the lectures much better. They are all English language books but there are probably equivalent German or other language books available; have a look at them also. The list is of books on spectroscopy and general solar physics.
