Preface; 1 Hydrodynamics; 2 Magnetohydrodynamics and Magnetic Fields; 3 Radiative Processes; 4 Nonthermal Particles; 5 Spherical Flows: Accretion and Explosion; 6 Disk Accretion I; 7 Disk Accretion II; 8 Electrodynamics of Compact Objects; Appendix; Bibliography; Index.

Summary: Written by one of today?s most highly respected astrophysicists, Foundations of High-Energy Astrophysics is an introduction to the mathematical and physical techniques used in the study of high-energy astrophysics. Here, Mario Vietri approaches the basics of high-energy astrophysics with an emphasis on underlying physical processes as opposed to a more mathematical approach. Alongside more traditional topics, Vietri presents new subjects increasingly considered crucial to understanding high-energy astrophysical sources, including the electrodynamics of cosmic sources, new developments in the t.
