Introduction to High-Energy Astrophysics van Stephan Rosswog and Marcus Brüggen is a textbook on high-energy astrophysics, aimed at undergraduate students. This book covers cosmic phenomena under extreme physical conditions and provides a structured, self-contained introduction to the field.
The book discusses the most violent events in the universe, such as supernova explosions, neutron stars, compact binary systems, gamma-ray bursts, and active galactic nuclei. The text is clear and practice-oriented, with exercise questions in each chapter to better support teaching.
Suitable for students who have basic knowledge of physics, it introduces all the necessary concepts, including gas dynamics and radiation processes. An extensive appendix provides insight into important instruments for high-energy astrophysics.
This book aligns with fields such as Astrophysics and Science / Physics / Astrophysics and is relevant for programs that include high-energy astrophysics as part of the curriculum.
