High energy radiation from black holes : gamma rays, cosmic rays, and neutrinos / Charles D. Dermer, Govind Menon. - 1 online resource (xx, 538 pages) : illustrations - Princeton series in astrophysics . - Princeton series in astrophysics. .
Includes bibliographical references (pages 509-530) and index.
Relativistic kinematics -- Introduction to curved spacetime -- Physical cosmology -- Radiation physics of relativistic flows -- Compton scattering -- Synchrotron radiation -- Binary particle collision processes -- Photohadronic processes -- [Gamma-gamma] pair production -- Blast-wave physics -- Introduction to Fermi acceleration -- First-order Fermi acceleration -- Second-order Fermi acceleration -- The geometry of spacetime -- Black-hole electrodynamics -- High-energy radiations from black holes.
Beginning with Einstein's special and general theories of relativity, the authors give a detailed mathematical description of fundamental astrophysical radiation processes, including Compton scattering of electrons and photons, synchrotron radiation of particles in magnetic fields, and much more.
