书目名称 | The Universe in Gamma Rays | 编辑 | Volker Schönfelder | 视频video | | 概述 | So far no comprehensive text on this new field of astronomy available.Includes supplementary material: | 丛书名称 | Astronomy and Astrophysics Library | 图书封面 |  | 描述 | Gamma-ray astronomy began in the mid-1960s with balloon satellite, and, at very high photon energies, also with ground-based instruments. However, the most significant progress was made in the last decade of the 20th century, when the tree satellite missions SIGMA, Compton, and Beppo-Sax gave a completely new picture of our Universe and made gamma-ray astronomy an integral part of astronomical research. This book, written by well-known experts, gives the first comprehensive presentation of this field of research, addressing both graduate students and researchers. Gamma-ray astronomy helps us to understand the most energetic processes and the most violent events in the Universe. After describing cosmic gamma-ray production and absorption, the instrumentation used in gamma-ray astronomy is explained. The main part of the book deals with astronomical results, including the somewhat surprising result that the gamma-ray sky is continuously changing. | 出版日期 | Book 2001 | 关键词 | Black Holes; Cherenkov Light; Gamma ray; Gamma-Ray Astronomy; Gamma-Ray Burst Sources; Neutron; Neutron St | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-662-04593-0 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-642-08745-5 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-662-04593-0Series ISSN 0941-7834 Series E-ISSN 2196-9698 | issn_series | 0941-7834 | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2001 |
