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.
