X- and Gamma-Ray Astronomy [E-Book] / edited by H. Bradt, R. Giacconi.
The IAU Symposium No. 55 on 'X-Ray and Gamma-Ray Astronomy' has occurred, not entirely by coincidence, at an important moment in the development of these new branches of observational astronomy. In X-ray astronomy the data from the first X-ray observatory UHURU have contributed to a new vi...
