The first part discusses the basic theoretical and observational topics related to black hole astrophysics; the optics and the detectors employed in X-ray and gamma-ray astronomy; and past, present, and future X-ray and gamma-ray missions. The second part then describes data reduction and analysis, the statistics used in X-ray and gamma-ray astronomy, and demonstrates how to write a successful proposal and a scientific paper. Data reduction in connection with specific X-ray and gamma-ray missions is covered in the appendices. Presenting the state of the art in X-ray and gamma-ray astronomy, this is both a valuable textbook for students and an important reference resource for researchers in the field.Observations, AstronomicalAstronomy—ObservationsAstrophysicsAstronomy, Observations and Techniqueshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22014Astrophysics and Astroparticleshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22022Observations, Astronomical.Astronomy—Observations.Astrophysics.Astronomy, Observations and Techniques.Astrophysics and Astroparticles.523.01Bambi Cosimoedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910412152603321Tutorial Guide to X-ray and Gamma-ray Astronomy2065754UNINA
