After three decades of intense research in X-ray and gamma-ray astronomy, the time was ripe to summarize basic knowledge on X-ray and gamma-ray spectroscopy for interested students and researchers ready to become involved in new high-energy missions. This volume exposes both the scientific basics and modern methods of high-energy spectroscopic astrophysics. The emphasis is on physical principles and observing methods rather than a discussion of particular classes of high-energy objects, but many examples and new results are included in the three chapters as well.Kahn, Steven M. is the author of 'High-Energy Spectroscopic Astrophysics Saas Fee Advanced Course 30 2000, Swiss Society for Astrophysics and Astronomy' with ISBN 9783540405016 and ISBN 3540405011.
