This book was released on 2007 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research program in gamma-ray astronomy focuses on increasing our knowledge of the nature and origin of galactic and extragalactic gamma rays, and understanding high-energy processes in the Sun, celestial objects, interstellar medium, and extragalactic space. This book not only provides an overview of the latest research and future plans for space-borne and ground-based experiments dedicated to the observation of the gamma-ray sky, but also addresses the topic of variable gamma-ray sources from the perspective of their identification and counterparts at different wavelengths. It further gives an overview of the theory related to the most qualified emission processes that take place in these sources and of the nature of their variability. Sample Chapter(s).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent launch of NASA's Gamma-Ray Observatory will increase interest in gamma-ray astronomy. This is a fully up-dated new edition of the authors' earlier volume published in 1986 and covers both the background science and the current state-of-the-art in this field. The emphasis is on the astronomy and astrophysics of known sources of cosmic gamma-rays outside the solar system. The authors discuss the mechanisms for the production and absorption of gamma-rays. The gamma-ray line astronomy of the interstellar medium, galactic centre, and various discrete sources is then considered. Gamma-ray bursts are treated in considerable detail in chapter three, and the final two chapters describe medium energy and ultra-high energy gamma-rays. Relevant data from supernova SN1987A is also included in this edition. The book includes comprehensive references to the primary literature, together with many figures and tables. The concentration on phenomenology makes this book a fine introduction to gamma-ray astronomy.

Book excerpt: Astrophysics has always been a captivating field, delving into the mysteries of the universe and providing glimpses into the workings of celestial objects. However, it is in the realm of high-energy astrophysics that the universe truly reveals its most extreme phenomena. From quasars to gamma-ray bursts, this subchapter explores the historical milestones that have unraveled the mysteries of high-energy astrophysics. In the early 20th century, the study of astrophysics was primarily focused on the visible light emitted by stars and galaxies. It wasn't until 1932 that the first cosmic rays, highly energetic particles from space, were discovered by physicist Victor Hess. This groundbreaking observation hinted at the existence of high-energy phenomena beyond the reach of traditional telescopes. The discovery of the first X-ray source outside our solar system in 1962 marked a turning point in high-energy astrophysics. Astronomers soon realized that X-rays and gamma-rays, with their much higher energies than visible light, could provide vital information about the most energetic processes in the universe. Exploratory missions, such as the Uhuru satellite launched in 1970, opened a new window for studying high-energy astrophysics. The birth of X-ray astronomy gave rise to incredible findings. In 1967, the first X-ray pulsar, a rapidly rotating neutron star, was discovered. This revelation paved the way for understanding the behavior of matter under extreme gravitational forces. Subsequently, in 1974, the discovery of the first X-ray binary system, where a compact object accretes matter from a companion star, provided further insights into the dynamics of high-energy processes. The 1990s marked a new era with the launch of the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory. This satellite enabled astronomers to observe gamma-ray bursts, the most energetic events in the universe, for the first time. These fleeting bursts of gamma-rays, lasting only a few seconds, puzzled scientists and sparked a race to understand their origins. It wasn't until 1997 that the first optical afterglow of a gamma-ray burst was detected, leading to the realization that these cataclysmic events were associated with the explosive deaths of massive stars. With the advent of space-based observatories like the Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, high-energy astrophysics has continued to push the boundaries of our knowledge. These observatories have revealed the existence of supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies, shedding light on their role in the evolution of cosmic structures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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, present, and future X-ray and gamma-ray missions. The second part then describes data reduction and analysis, the statistics used in X-ray and gamma-ray astronomy, and demonstrates how to write a successful proposal and a scientific paper. Data reduction in connection with specific X-ray and gamma-ray missions is covered in the appendices. Presenting the state of the art in X-ray and gamma-ray astronomy, this is both a valuable textbook for students and an important reference resource for researchers in the field.
