High-energy astrophysics : a primer
By: Horvath, Jorge Ernesto.
Series: Undergraduate lecture notes in physics. / edited by Neil Ashby ...[et al.].Publisher: Switzerland Springer 2022Description: xii, 275p.ISBN: 9783030921583.Subject(s): Astrophysics | Particles (Nuclear physics) | General relativity (Physics) | GravitationDDC classification: 523.01 | H789h Summary: This textbook is designed to serve as a link between the basic disciplines of physics and the frontier topics within high energy astrophysics, aiming at a level of difficulty congruent with that of other physics topics studied at undergraduate level. Therefore, this preparatory and introductory text serves as a gateway to a more detailed study of many of the most interesting and complex phenomena being investigated by contemporary astrophysics. Among others, these include: the evolution of stars, supernovae, neutron stars, black holes, solar neutrinos, and - importantly - the exciting new field of gravitational wave astronomy. The book is supplemented by a collection of problems with which students can test their understanding of the material presented.Item type | Current location | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
