Very High Energy Gamma-Ray Astronomy
CRC Press 2003; US$ 199.95Gamma rays of the highest energies are a challenge for the experimentalist to detect and the theoretician to explain. This book presents the techniques, observations and the theories of this expanding frontier. more...
Very High Energy Cosmic Gamma Radiation
World Scientific Publishing Company 2004; US$ 139.10Gamma ray astronomy, the branch of high energy astrophysics that studies the sky in energetic ?-ray photons, is destined to play a crucial role in the exploration of nonthermal phenomena in the Universe in their most extreme and violent forms. The great potential of this discipline offers impressive coverage of many ?hot topics? of modern astrophysics... more...
The Biggest Bangs
Oxford University Press 2002; US$ 44.99For over 25 years, gamma-ray bursts were the outstanding mystery in astronomy. No one knew where they were or how they worked. 'The Biggest Bangs' tells how the mystery was unravelled, from the discovery of gamma-ray bursts by a Cold War satellite system monitoring the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty to the localization of bursts in distant galaxies. more...
Gamma-Ray Bursts
Springer 2009; US$ 139.99Since their discovery was first announced in 1973, gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been among the most fascination objects in the universe. This work gives an account on both the history and the perspectives of GRB research. more...
What Are Gamma-Ray Bursts?
Princeton University Press 2011; US$ 29.95Gamma-ray bursts are the brightest--and, until recently, among the least understood--cosmic events in the universe. Discovered by chance during the cold war, these evanescent high-energy explosions confounded astronomers for decades. But a rapid series of startling breakthroughs beginning in 1997 revealed that the majority of gamma-ray bursts are... more...
Astrophysics at Very High Energies
Springer 2013; US$ 69.95With the success of Cherenkov Astronomy and more recently with the launch of NASAs Fermi mission, very-high-energy astrophysics has undergone a revolution in the last years. This book provides three comprehensive and up-to-date reviews of the recent advances in gamma-ray astrophysics and of multi-messenger astronomy. Felix Aharonian and Charles... more...
