High-energy astrophysics involves the study of exceedingly dynamic and energetic phenomena occurring near the most extreme celestial objects known to exist, such as black holes, neutron stars, white dwarfs, and supernova remnants.
High-energy astrophysics covers cosmic phenomena that occur under the most extreme physical conditions.
The book is supplemented by a collection of problems with which students can test their understanding of the material presented.
Written in an informal style, this book will guide students through their first encounter with high-energy astrophysics. This book grew out of the author’s notes from his course on Radiative Processes in High Energy Astrophysics.
This book takes the student with a knowledge of physics and mathematics at the undergraduate level - but not necessarily with training in astronomy - to the point where current astronomical research can be understood.
Malcolm S. Longair. directions perpendicular to the rotation axis and the telescope employed mechanical collimators which gave beam - widths in fact , ' full - width half maxima ' ) of 1 ° x 5 ° and 5 ° x 5 ° as illustrated in Fig .
This book provides an up-to-date overview of the recent advances and potential future developments in this area, discussing both the main theoretical ideas and experimental results.
Gamma ray astronomy, the branch of high energy astrophysics that studies the sky in energetic ?-ray photons, is destined to play a crucial role in the exploration of nonthermal phenomena in the Universe in their most extreme and violent ...
