High Energy Astrophysics

Catalog description

Fundamentals of high energy astrophysical phenomena and theory, including the physics of black holes, neutron stars and white dwarfs as well as relevant cosmological topics such as high-energy signatures of dark matter annihilation and prospects for their detection. Phenomena explored include active galactic nuclei (AGN), pulsars, supernovae and their remnants, gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), micro-quasars, magnetars, novae, accreting compact objects, relativistic jets, and high-energy cosmic rays.
