Simultaneously storing both spectral and spatial information, 3D
spectroscopy offers a new way to tackle astrophysical problems, and
opens up new lines of research. Since its inception in the eighties
and early nineties, research in this field has grown enormously.
Large telescopes all around the world are now equipped with
integral field units, and two instruments of the future James Webb
Space Telescope will have integral field spectroscopic
capabilities. Nowadays, more effort is dedicated to refining
techniques for reducing, analyzing and interpreting the data
obtained with 3D spectrographs. Containing lectures from the
seventeenth Winter School of the Canary Islands Astrophysics
Institute, this book explores new 3D spectroscopy techniques and
data. A broad and balanced presentation of research in this field,
it introduces astronomers to a new generation of instruments,
widening the appeal of integral field spectroscopy and helping it
become a powerful tool in tackling astrophysical problems.
