The Active X-Ray Sky (Nuclear Physics. B, Proceedings, Supplements, V. 69/1-3.)
The Active XRay Sky - Nuclear Physics. B, Proceedings, Supplements, V. 69/1-3. Hardbound. The conference on Active X-Ray Sky was held approximately two years after the launch of the Rossi-Xte and RXTE satellites. The objective of these proceedings was to incorporate results not only from these two missions, but to review recent developments about the Active X-ray Sky as obtained from the four currectly active X-ray mission... more »s, as well as from the Copton Gamma-ray Observatory.Some of the very dramatic findings were: the discovery of X-ray and optical afterglow in Gamma Ray Bursts; the discovery of X-ray oscillations at kilohertz frequencies from binary systems and the discovery of correlated IR flares, radio flares and X-ray dip-flare cycles in microquasars. These results have yielded dramatic new insights into our physical universe. Other important results reported or reviewed here include the detection of extreme high-energy emission in the active binary stars Algol and UX Ari, resonant absorption scattering from the Perseus Clust« less
