Relativistic Astrophysics of the Transient Universe - Gravitation, Hydrodynamics and Radiation

Informationen zum Autor Maurice H. P. M. Van Putten is a Professor in the School of Physics, Korea Institute for Advanced Study. His focus is on radiation processes around rotating black holes, gravitational radiation and ultra high energy cosmic rays. Amir Levinson is a Professor in the School of Physics and Astronomy, Tel Aviv University. His research interests include high-energy astrophysics, radiation processes in relativistic outflows, and plasma astrophysics. Klappentext Unified treatment of electromagnetic, hadronic and gravitational radiation processes associated with relativistic outflows from compact objects. Zusammenfassung This unified treatment of electromagnetic! hadronic and gravitational radiation processes associated with relativistic outflows from compact objects is ideal for researchers interested in the transient universe. It examines relativistic outflows and radiation processes and links contemporary astronomy to gravitational-wave experiments. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1. A zoo of astrophysical transient sources; 2.
