| Zusammenfassung: | Gamma ray astronomy, the branch of high energy astrophysics that studies the sky in energetic [symbol]-ray photons, is destined to play a crucial role in the exploration of nonthermal phenomena in the Universe in their most extreme and violent forms. The great potential of this discipline offers impressive coverage of many "hot topics" of modern astrophysics and cosmology, such as the origin of galactic and extragalactic cosmic rays, particle acceleration and radiation processes under extreme astrophysical conditions, and the search for dark matter. The recent observational results and exciting theoretical predictions provide a strong rationale for a deep study of cosmic radiation with forthcoming satellite-borne and ground-based detectors in the so-called very high energy domain of the electromagnetic spectrum above 1010 eV. This invaluable book presents the motivations and highlights the principal objectives of the field, as well as demonstrates its intrinsic links to other branches of high energy astrophysics. Preference is given to three topical areas: (i) origin of cosmic rays; (ii) physics and astrophysics of relativistic jets; (iii) observational gamma ray cosmology. Also, an essential part of the book is devoted to the discussion of the principal mechanisms of production and absorption of energetic [symbol]-rays in different astrophysical environments, as well as to the description of the detection methods of high energy cosmic [symbol]-radiation. |

Also, an essential part of the book is devoted to the discussion of the principal mechanisms of production and absorption of energetic [symbol]-rays in different astrophysical environments, as well as to the description of the detection methods of high energy cosmic [symbol]-radiation.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Gamma ray astronomy.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85052982</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Cosmic rays.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85033155</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Cosmic Radiation</subfield><subfield code="0">https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D003359</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Astronomie gamma.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Rayonnement cosmique.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">NATURE</subfield><subfield code="x">Sky Observation.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Cosmic rays</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Gamma ray astronomy</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Astronomie gamma.</subfield><subfield code="2">rvm</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Rayonnement cosmique.</subfield><subfield code="2">rvm</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="a">Aharonian, Felix A.</subfield><subfield code="t">Very high energy cosmic gamma radiation.</subfield><subfield code="d">River Edge, NJ : World Scientific, ©2004</subfield><subfield code="z">9810245734</subfield><subfield code="w">(OCoLC)57064809</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="0"><subfield code="l">FWS01</subfield><subfield code="p">ZDB-4-EBA</subfield><subfield code="q">FWS_PDA_EBA</subfield><subfield code="u">https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=124683</subfield><subfield code="3">Volltext</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Askews and Holts Library Services</subfield><subfield code="b">ASKH</subfield><subfield code="n">AH21190524</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">ProQuest Ebook Central</subfield><subfield code="b">EBLB</subfield><subfield code="n">EBL227152</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">ebrary</subfield><subfield code="b">EBRY</subfield><subfield code="n">ebr10255452</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">EBSCOhost</subfield><subfield code="b">EBSC</subfield><subfield code="n">124683</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">ProQuest MyiLibrary Digital eBook Collection</subfield><subfield code="b">IDEB</subfield><subfield code="n">187201</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">YBP Library Services</subfield><subfield code="b">YANK</subfield><subfield code="n">2407643</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="994" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">92</subfield><subfield code="b">GEBAY</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">ZDB-4-EBA</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="049" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">DE-863</subfield></datafield></record></collection> |

Diffuse extragalactic background as calorimetric measure of the VHE emissivity of the universe. Gamma ray astronomy, the branch of high energy astrophysics that studies the sky in energetic [symbol]-ray photons, is destined to play a crucial role in the exploration of nonthermal phenomena in the Universe in their most extreme and violent forms. The great potential of this discipline offers impressive coverage of many "hot topics" of modern astrophysics and cosmology, such as the origin of galactic and extragalactic cosmic rays, particle acceleration and radiation processes under extreme astrophysical conditions, and the search for dark matter. The recent observational results and exciting theoretical predictions provide a strong rationale for a deep study of cosmic radiation with forthcoming satellite-borne and ground-based detectors in the so-called very high energy domain of the electromagnetic spectrum above 1010 eV. This invaluable book presents the motivations and highlights the principal objectives of the field, as well as demonstrates its intrinsic links to other branches of high energy astrophysics. Preference is given to three topical areas: (i) origin of cosmic rays; (ii) physics and astrophysics of relativistic jets; (iii) observational gamma ray cosmology. Also, an essential part of the book is devoted to the discussion of the principal mechanisms of production and absorption of energetic [symbol]-rays in different astrophysical environments, as well as to the description of the detection methods of high energy cosmic [symbol]-radiation.
