Preface
Optical, infrared, and radio astronomies are the historical pillars of astrophysics. They are continuing to contribute a large part of the astrophysical information and are the prerequisite for observations with highenergy information carrier. The investigation of the astrophysical properties of the targets triggers the building of the large observational facilities and shapes their characteristics. The textbook is organized from the point of view of the science targets, tackling optical, infrared, and radio astronomies as scientific research areas. In place of presenting the observational techniques and showing how they could be used in different domains of the electromagnetic spectrum, the textbook is focused on the science targets and the measurement of their fluxes and spectra, providing a link between observational technique
