Galactic High-Energy Astrophysics High-Accuracy Timing and Positional Astronomy - Lectures Held at the Astrophysics School IV Organized by the European Astrophysics Doctoral Network (EADN) in Graz, Austria, 19-31 August 1991

This book addresses graduate students in astronomy andastrophysics. The first part is devoted to galactichigh-energy astrophysics. It treats particle accelerations(including shocks), the interstellar medium and supernovaeremnants, high-energy emissions from normal stars andaccretion in close binaries. The second part deals withobservationslike pulsar timing, and its measurement withradioastronomical tools, and astrometry, as performed in theHIPPARCOS satellite program.

List of contents

Particle acceleration in astrophysics.- Interstellar medium and supernova remnants.- High energy emission from normal stars.- Accretion in close binaries.- Pulsars - the new celestial clocks.- The mission hipparcos.
