Description

X-ray astronomy has undergone a revolution in recent years.

With the launch of two orbiting observatories, Chandra and XMM-Newton, astronomers are now able to obtain spectra and images at a higher resolution than ever before.

Observations have had a major impact on topics ranging from protostars to cosmology.

The contributions in this 2004 work, by leading authorities in the field, originate from a Royal Society Discussion Meeting that was held to review results from the current generation of X-ray telescopes, and set them in context.

This book is a valuable reference for research astronomers and graduate students wishing to understand the latest developments in this exciting field.
