This volume is the product of Lecturers in the fourth Course of the
International School of Cosmic-Ray Astrophysics held at the Ettore
Majorana Center in Erice, Sicily in November, 1984. The Course,
devoted to "Cosmic Radiation in Contemporary Astrophysics," was
concurrently a NATO-sponsored Advanced Study Institute (ASI).
Cosmic-ray research is in a state of ferment. Precise measure ments
- some made with instruments aboard sattelites and space probe-
have been confronting models and theories with severe constraints.
The observations of gamma-ray sources, notably Cyg X-3, at energies
up to 16 10 eV, have opened up tantalizing possibilities of direct
source iden tification. This ASI was devoted largely to
interdisciplinary phenomena in cosmic-ray astrophysics whose
understanding requires input from the other channels in astronomy.
It explored the ways in which progress in cosmic-ray science might
clarify phenomena observed in related disciplines. In trying to
achieve this aim, we assembled a staff of lecturers representing
various astrophysical specialties, such as radio astronomy, optical
astronomy, X-ray astronomy, gamma-ray astronomy, and of course,
particle astronomy (i.e., cosmic radiation). Students and other
participants were likewise drawn from diverse backgrounds. Vigorous
discussions enlivened almost every session."
