Description:

Written by one of today’s most highly respected astrophysicists,Foundations of High-Energy Astrophysicsis an introduction to the mathematical and physical techniques used in the study of high-energy astrophysics. Here, Mario Vietri approaches the basics of high-energy astrophysics with an emphasis on underlying physical processes as opposed to a morenbsp;mathematical approach. Alongside more traditional topics, Vietri presents new subjects increasingly considered crucial to understanding high-energy astrophysical sources, including the electrodynamics of cosmic sources, new developments in the theory of standard accretion disks,nbsp;andthe physics of coronae, thick disks, and accretion onto…
