基本説明

Conveys the latest theories and observations in synergetic fashion, all used wavelengths-form radio to gamma, and including the FERMI telescope, history and theory refresher, and more.

Full Description

Written by a carefully selected consortium of researchers working in the field, this book fills the gap for an up-to-date summary of the observational and theoretical status. As such, this monograph includes all used wavelengths, from radio to gamma, the FERMI telescope, a history and theory refresher, and jets from gamma ray bursts.
For astronomers, nuclear physicists, and plasmaphysicists.
