Description: Gamma-ray Bursts by Chryssa Kouveliotou Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Aimed at graduate students and professionals, this book explores the various aspects of gamma ray burst physics, ranging from the observations on GRBs and their sources, to the theory of their creation, how they work, and how they can be used to probe the history of the Universe. Publisher Description "Cosmic gamma ray bursts (GRBs) have fascinated scientists and the public alike since their discovery in the late 1960s. Their story is told here by some of the scientists who participated in their discovery and, after many decades of false starts, solved the problem of their origin. Fourteen chapters by active researchers in the field present a detailed history of the discovery, a comprehensive theoretical description of GRB central engine and emission models, a discussion of GRB host galaxies and a guide to how GRBs can be used as cosmological tools. Observations are grouped into three sets from the satellites CGRO, BeppoSAX and Swift, and followed by a discussion of multi-wavelength observations. This is the first edited volume on GRB astrophysics that presents a fully comprehensive review of the subject. Utilizing the latest research, Gamma-ray Bursts is an essential desktop companion for graduate students and researchers in astrophysics."
