HIGH ENERGY ASTROPHYSICS
/ COURVOISIER, THIERRY J.-L.
: 2013
ABSTRACT / INHALTSTEXT
HIGH-ENERGY ASTROPHYSICS HAS UNVEILED A UNIVERSE VERY DIFFERENT FROM
THAT ONLY KNOWN FROM OPTICAL OBSERVATIONS. IT HAS REVEALED MANY TYPES OF
OBJECTS IN WHICH TYPICAL VARIABILITY TIMESCALES ARE AS SHORT AS YEARS,
MONTHS, DAYS, AND HOURS (IN QUASARS, X-RAY BINARIES, AND OTHER OBJECTS),
AND EVEN DOWN TO MILLI-SECONDS IN GAMMA RAY BURSTS. THE SOURCES OF
ENERGY THAT ARE ENCOUNTERED ARE ONLY VERY SELDOM NUCLEAR FUSION, AND
MOST OF THE TIME GRAVITATION, A PARADOX WHEN ONE THINKS THAT GRAVITATION
IS, BY MANY ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE, THE WEAKEST OF THE FUNDAMENTAL
INTERACTIONS. THE UNDERSTANDING OF THESE OBJECTS PHYSICAL CONDITIONS
AND THE PROCESSES REVEALED BY HIGH-ENERGY ASTROPHYSICS IN THE LAST
DECADES IS NOWADAYS PART OF ASTROPHYSICISTS CULTURE, EVEN OF THOSE
ACTIVE IN OTHER DOMAINS OF ASTRONOMY. THIS BOOK EVOLVED FROM LECTURES
GIVEN TO MASTER AND PHD STUDENTS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF GENEVA SINCE THE
EARLY 1990S. IT AIMS AT PROVIDING ASTRONOMERS AND PHYSICISTS INTENDING
TO BE ACTIVE IN HIGH-ENERGY ASTROPHYSICS A BROAD BASIS ON WHICH THEY
SHOULD BE ABLE TO BUILD THE MORE SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE THEY WILL NEED.
WHILE IN THE FIRST PART OF THE BOOK THE PHYSICAL PROCESSES ARE DESCRIBED
AND DERIVED IN DETAIL, THE SECOND PART STUDIES ASTROPHYSICAL OBJECTS IN
WHICH HIGH-ENERGY ASTROPHYSICS PLAYS A CRUCIAL ROLE. THIS TWO-PRONGED
APPROACH WILL HELP STUDENTS RECOGNISE PHYSICAL PROCESSES BY THEIR
OBSERVATIONAL SIGNATURES IN CONTEXTS THAT MAY DIFFER WIDELY FROM THOSE
PRESENTED HERE
DIESES SCHRIFTSTUECK WURDE MASCHINELL ERZEUGT.
