Description for Radiative Processes in High Energy Astrophysics
Paperback. This book offers a compact introduction to the radiative processes relevant in high-energy astrophysics. Written in an informal style, this class-room tested book will guide students through their first encounter with high-energy astrophysics. Series: Lecture Notes in Physics. Num Pages: 157 pages, 22 black & white illustrations, 43 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PHFP; PHP; PHVB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 236 x 156 x 11. Weight in Grams: 260.
This book grew out of the author’s notes from his course on Radiative Processes in High Energy Astrophysics. The course provides fundamental definitions of radiative processes and serves as a brief introduction to Bremsstrahlung and black body emission, relativistic beaming, synchrotron emission and absorption, Compton scattering, synchrotron self-compton emission, pair creation and emission. The final chapter discusses the observed features of Active Galactic Nuclei and their interpretation based on the radiative processes presented in the book. Written in an informal style, this book will guide students through their first encounter with high-energy astrophysics.
