Titre(s) : Relativistic flows in astrophysics [Texte électronique] / A.W. Guthmann [and others] (eds.)
Publication : Berlin ; New York : Springer, cop. 2002
Description matérielle : 1 online resource (xii, 241 pages)
Collection : Lecture notes in physics ; 589
Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
The topic of this book is the study of relativistic outflows such as those seen in
gamma-ray bursts, microquasars and active galactic nuclei. The book starts with lectures
on physical processes relevant to all astrophysical systems exhibiting relativistic
flows. Further lectures concentrate on more specific aspects such as various mechanisms
for particle acceleration and radiation from relativistically moving sources. This
volume will thus be of interest to postgraduate students and nonspecialist researchers
as a tutorial introduction to this subject as well as for the experienced researcher
looking for a modern source of reference
