TY - GEN AU - Horvath, Jorge Ernesto TI - High-energy astrophysics: a primer T2 - / edited by Neil Ashby ...[et al.] SN - 9783030921583 U1 - 523.01 PY - 2022/// CY - Switzerland PB - Springer KW - Astrophysics KW - Particles (Nuclear physics) KW - General relativity (Physics) KW - Gravitation N2 - 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 ER -
