High Energy Astrophysics [E-Book] : An Introduction / by Thierry J.-L. Courvoisier.
High-energy astrophysics has unveiled a Universe very different from that only known from optical observations. It has revealed many types of objects in which typical variability timescales are as short as years, months, days, and hours (in quasars, X-ray binaries, and other objects), and even down...
