Very high energy gamma-ray astronomy / Trevor Weekes. - First Edition. - xv, 221 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm. - Series in astronomy and astrophysics. .
Includes bibliographical references and index.
1. Foundations of gamma-ray astronomy -- 2. Very high energy gamma-ray detectors -- 3. High energy gamma-ray telescopes in space -- 4. Galactic plane -- 5. Supernovae and supernova remnants -- 6. Gamma-ray observations of the Crab Nebula -- 7. Gamma-ray observations of supernova remnants -- 8. Gamma-ray pulsars and binaries -- 9. Unidentified sources -- 10. Extragalactic sources -- 11. Active galactic nuclei: observations -- 12. Active galactic nuclei: models -- 13. Gamma-ray bursts -- 14. Diffuse background radiation -- App. Radiation and absorption processes.
Summarizes the status of gamma-ray astronomy at energies between 30MeV and 50TeV. This book presents an overview of the astrophysics of the bodies that generate high energy gamma rays. It is suitable for experimentalists and theoreticians in detecting gamma rays of the highest energies.
