Science with the New Generation of High Energy Gamma-Ray Experiments : the Variable Gamma-Ray Sources.

The research program in gamma-ray astronomy focuses on increasing our knowledge of the nature and origin of galactic and extragalactic gamma rays, and understanding high-energy processes in the Sun, celestial objects, interstellar medium, and extragalactic space. This book not only provides an overv...
