Astrophysics of cosmic rays
Observations of TeV gamma rays enable investigation of extreme, high-energy astrophysical environments. Of the identified TeV sources within the Galaxy, the largest number are pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe), formed by the shocked wind of relativistic leptons emitted by a pulsar and …
This book provides a comprehensive introduction to X-ray and gamma-ray astronomy. The first part discusses the basic theoretical and observational topics related to black hole astrophysics ; the optics and the detectors employed in X-ray and gamma-ray astronomy ; and past, prese…
