Introduction to High-Energy Astronomy

Catalog description

This course explores the study of celestial phenomena such as black holes, neutron stars, white dwarfs, supernova remnants, stars, galaxies, active galactic nuclei, and galaxy clusters through X-ray, gamma-ray, and multi-messenger (e.g., particles and gravitational waves) observations. The course covers the physics processes underpinning high-energy astrophysics, the tools and methods employed in this field, and the high-energy astrophysical sources both within our Galaxy and beyond. Additionally, it examines future prospects for advancements in high-energy astrophysics research.
