商品描述
Very-high-energy astrophysics studies the most energetic photons in the sky, allowing the exploration of violent and extreme non-thermal phenomena in the Universe. Significant advances in knowledge have been made in this field using ground-based imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs) as detectors, to study these physical processes in the Universe. This book reviews the progress in the field since the advent of the second generation IACTs around 2004. Going through the scientific highlights obtained by the three current instruments of this kind, H.E.S.S., MAGIC and VERITAS, operating now for more than 15 years, this book presents a state-of-the-art knowledge in four areas of modern astrophysics and cosmology, namely the origin of the cosmic rays, the physics of compact objects and their resulting relativistic outflows, gamma-ray cosmology, and the search for dark matter. Along with a detailed review of the outstanding scientific outcomes, a summary of the key technological developments that yielded the recognized success of the technique is also provided.
This book is written for early-career academics in the fields of astrophysics, high energy physics and cosmology. At the same time, it can serve as a source of reference for the expert in the field.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
非常高能天體物理學研究天空中最具能量的光子,這使得探索宇宙中劇烈且極端的非熱現象成為可能。在這個領域中,利用地面成像大氣切倫科夫望遠鏡(IACTs)作為探測器,已經取得了顯著的知識進展,以研究宇宙中的這些物理過程。本書回顧了自2004年第二代IACTs問世以來該領域的進展。通過介紹目前三個此類儀器H.E.S.S.、MAGIC和VERITAS在過去15年以上的科學亮點,本書呈現了現代天體物理學和宇宙學四個領域的最先進知識,即宇宙射線的起源、緊湊天體的物理及其產生的相對論性流出、伽馬射線宇宙學以及暗物質的搜尋。除了對卓越科學成果的詳細回顧外,本書還提供了促成該技術成功的關鍵技術發展的總結。
本書是為早期職業學者撰寫的,適用於天體物理學、高能物理學和宇宙學領域。同時,它也可以作為該領域專家的參考資料。
