KlappentextWhile 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 processes are crucial.
ZusammenfassungDiscussing objects with variability timescales as short as years, months, days and hours, down to milli-seconds, this book describes and derives the physical processes of astrophysics and studies objects in which high-energy astrophysics processes are crucial.

Kritik
From the reviews:
"The aim of this new book is to present the objects revealed by high-energy astrophysical observation, to discuss the physical conditions met by these objects, and to explain the physical processes at work under these conditions. ... The text of the present work is intended for readers close to the end of a master's course or early in a PhD programme in physics or astronomy, but it may also be useful for specialists in astrophysics and astronomy as reference book." (Claudia-Veronika Meister, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1257, 2013)mehr

Autor


Thierry Courvoisier is professor for astronomy at the Department of Astronomy of the University of Geneva and director of the ISDC, Data Centre for Astrophysics. He made pioneering contributions to the research on quasars and their accretion flows, most notably on 3C 273.

Prof. Courvoisier is the President of the European Astronomical Society, President of the Swiss Academy of Sciences, and Editor-in-Chief of the journal The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review . He has been teaching courses on high-energy astrophysics at the University of Geneva since the the early 1990s.

Thierry is a keen sailor and crossed the Atlantic twice on his boat Cérès.
