Publication : Singapore : Springer, copyright 2020
Description matérielle : 1 ressource dématérialisée
Note(s) : Notes bibliogr.
This book provides a comprehensive introduction to X-ray and gamma-ray astronomy.
The first part discusses the basic theoretical and observational topics related to
black hole astrophysics; the optics and the detectors employed in X-ray and gamma-ray
astronomy; and past, present, and future X-ray and gamma-ray missions. The second
part then describes data reduction and analysis, the statistics used in X-ray and
gamma-ray astronomy, and demonstrates how to write a successful proposal and a scientific
paper. Data reduction in connection with specific X-ray and gamma-ray missions is
covered in the appendices. Presenting the state of the art in X-ray and gamma-ray
astronomy, this is both a valuable textbook for students and an important reference
resource for researchers in the field
