Pte.

Much of the observational work is done using the now well-established imaging atmospheric Cherenkov technique. Quite how TeV gamma-ray astronomy has evolved to a 4th-generation of sophistication is a very interesting story, one that is neither well documented, nor appreciated across the broader astronomical community. This book documents how TeV gamma-ray astronomy painstakingly emerged from 20th century traditional cosmic-ray physics to become, in time, a keystone feature of contemporary high-energy astrophysics that is central to our understanding of high-energy processes and interactions in the cosmos, linking traditional particle physics to a multitude of astrophysical phenomena. The author takes the reader through many decades of exploration and investigation with the use of no more than a few equations. This book is suitable for astronomers, astrophysicists, experimentalists working across a variety of cognate disciplines including astronomy in different wavebands, particle physics, and high energy physics"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Cosmic [gamma]-ray timeline -- A serendipitous observation -- Photography, simulations, detectors -- Detection strategies -- Prototyping a TeV imager -- Image compactness selection -- Ongoing data fidelity issues -- Crab -- first TeV source, 1989 -- Dedicated workshops -- XRB Rayleigh powers -- Imaging refinements -- Supercuts -- Markarian 421 -- [Gamma]/Hadron in perspective -- TeV [gamma]-ray astronomy in 2018. 650 0 $a Gamma ray astronomy. 650 0 $a Cherenkov counters. 650 7 $a Cherenkov counters. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00853639 650 7 $a Gamma ray astronomy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00937597 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20191003012120.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2BFBEE20E5A311E9B7B99A5997128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
