Relativistic Hadrons in Cosmic Compact Objects

Proceedings of a Workshop Held in Koninki/Suhora, Poland 9-11 October 1990

Herausgegeben: Zdziarski, Andrzej A.; Sikora, Marek

Beschreibung

The articles in this book deal with energetic hadronprocesses near astrophysical compact objects, includingcompact binary systems and active galactic nuclei. A varietyof observational results suggest that relativistic hadronscan be produced in the vicinity of these objects. Amongthetopics treated in detail are the question whether a largefraction of the energy produced by active galactic nuclei ischanneled into a population of relativistic protons and theproblem of the origin of very high and ultra-high energygamma rays from galactic compact sources.

Autor

The book deals with energetic hadron processes near astrophysical compact objects. The consequences of relativistic hadron production in the vicinity of these objects are explored. Hadron-initiated electron-positron pair cascades, very high and ultra-high gamma rays, neutrinos, and relativistic free neutrons are discussed.
