Opis

Unified treatment of electromagnetic, hadronic and gravitational radiation processes associated with relativistic outflows from compact objects.

Recenzje

'Van Putten and Levinson have made an enjoyable compilation of all those strange things that can happen in our Universe, not only providing detailed physical calculations to understand them, but also including descriptions of all the channels of radiation that we can use to receive as much information about them as we can.' Gerard 't Hooft, Utrecht University, from the Foreword
