Description for Frontiers of Space and Ground-Based Astronomy
Hardback. Presents a review of the status of astrophysics and cosmology. This book illustrates the state of our theoretical understanding of the Universe, extending from the nearby interstellar medium (the Solar Bubble) out to the very early stages of the Universe, and the importance of gravitational lenses. It is intended for students. Editor(s): Wamsteker, Willem; Longair, M. S.; Kondo, Y. Series: Astrophysics and Space Science Library. Num Pages: 773 pages, 30 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PG; PHVB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 43. Weight in Grams: 1413.
ROSAT Observations G. HASINGER Max-Planck-Institut flir extraterrestrische Physik, D-85740 Garching, Germany Abstract. This review describes the most recent advances in the study of the extragalactic soft X-ray background and what we can learn about its constituents. The deepest pointed observations with the ROSAT PSPC are discussed. The logN-logS relation is presented, which reaches to the faintest X-ray fluxes and to the highest AGN surface densities ever achieved. The N(>S) relation shows a 2 density in excess of 400 deg- at the faintest fluxes and a flattening below the Einstein Deep Survey limit. About 60% of the extragalactic background has been ...
