Description and Table of Contents

Description

After three decades of intense research in X-ray and gamma-ray astronomy, the time was ripe to summarize basic knowledge on X-ray and gamma-ray spectroscopy for interested students and researchers ready to become involved in new high-energy missions. This volume exposes both the scientific basics and modern methods of high-energy spectroscopic astrophysics. The emphasis is on physical principles and observing methods rather than a discussion of particular classes of high-energy objects, but many examples and new results are included in the three chapters as well.

Table of Contents

Soft X-Ray Spectroscopy of Astrophysical Plasmas.- Instruments for Nuclear Astrophysics.- Hard X-Ray and Gamma Ray Spectroscopy.
