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" provides graduate and advanced undergraduate students
with the most complete, self-contained introduction to the subject
available. This textbook covers all the essentials, weaving
together the latest theory with the experimental techniques,
instrumentation, and observational methods astronomers use to study
high-energy radiation from space.
Fulvio Melia introduces topics at the forefront of today's
research, including relativistic particles, energetic radiation,
and accretion disk theory. No other textbook offers such a thorough
yet concise treatment of the key aspects of high-energy
astrophysics--both theoretical and observational--or delves as
deeply into modern detection techniques, satellite systems, and
analytical and numerical modeling used by theoreticians. Amply
illustrated, "High-Energy Astrophysics" is also ideal for
researchers interested in the application of fundamental physical
laws to understand how matter and radiation behave in regions of
the universe where physical conditions are most extreme.Uniquely
weaves together the theoretical and experimental aspects of this
important branch of astronomy Features stunning images of the
high-energy sky Fully describes the principal classes of
high-energy sources, with an in-depth study of many archetypal
objects within them Provides an excellent, self-contained resource
for the classroom, written by a preeminent researcher and teacher
in the field
