The Hirzebruch surfaces are the $\mathbb{P}^1$ bundles $\mathbb{F\_n}$ ($n\geqslant 0$) which can be obtained projectivizing the rank $2$ vector bundles $\mathcal{O}\_{\mathbb{P}^1}\oplus \mathcal{O}\_{\mathbb{P}^1}(n)$. Those surfaces are famous because they exhaust ($n\neq 1$) the minimal rational (smooth, projective) surfaces other than $\mathbb{P}^2$. The most familiar examples are $\mathbb{F\_0}\simeq \mathbb{P}^1\times\mathbb{P}^1$ and $\mathbb{F\_1}$ which is isomorphic to $\mathbb{P}^2$ blown up at a point.
Other features of Hirzebruch surfaces are apparently well-known, such as its intersection theory.


My question is about automorphism groups of Hirzebruch surfaces. For the sake of comparation, the automorphism group of $\mathbb{P}^2$ is isomorphic to $PGL(3,\mathbb{C})$ and I manage to find a very nice description of $Aut(\mathbb{F\_0})$ in this answer ([Automorphisms of a smooth quadric surface $Q\subset\mathbb{P}^{3}$](https://mathoverflow.net/questions/160041/automorphisms-of-a-smooth-quadric-surface-q-subset-mathbbp3)), since a quadric smooth projective surface $Q\subset \mathbb{P}^3$ is isomorphic to $\mathbb{P}^1\times\mathbb{P}^1$.


Do we have a similar description of $Aut(\mathbb{F\_n})$ for positive $n$?



Automorphism groups of Hirzebruch surfaces
For $n \ge 2$ the surface $\mathbb{F}\_n$ is the blowup of the weighted projective plane $\mathbb{P}(1,1,n)$ at its singular point. Because of that
$$
Aut(\mathbb{F}\_n) \cong Aut(\mathbb{P}(1,1,n)).
$$
The automorphism group of $\mathbb{P}(w\_1,w\_2,\dots,w\_m)$ is the group of non-degenerate $m$-by-$m$ matrices with the $(i,j)$-entry being a polynomial of degree $w\_i - w\_j$, up to simultaneous rescaling.
