Release Date: 2011-09-29
Modern x-ray data, available through online archives, are important for many astronomical topics. However, using these data requires specialized techniques and software. Written for graduate students, professional astronomers and researchers who want to start working in this field, this book is a practical guide to x-ray astronomy. The handbook begins with x-ray optics, basic detector physics and CCDs, before focussing on data analysis. It introduces the reduction and calibration of x-ray data, scientific analysis, archives, statistical issues and the particular problems of highly extended sources. The book describes the main hardware used in x-ray astronomy, emphasizing the implications for data analysis. The concepts behind common x-ray astronomy data analysis software are explained. The appendices present reference material often required during data analysis.
Handbook of Quantum Gravity
The search for a theory of quantum gravity is one of the most important and fascinating problems in modern theoretical physics. While we do not have yet a complete theory of quantum gravity, significant advancements have been done in the past decades. In this handbook, every section is dedicated to a specific approach towards a theory of quantum gravity and is edited by the leading experts in the field. This book represents both a valuable resource for graduate students and an important reference for researchers in quantum gravity.
