Aspects Of High Energy Astrophysics*

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  25 April 2016

Department of Physics, University of Adelaide

Extract

Observational astronomy extends, in terms of energy in the electromagnetic spectrum, from below 10-8eV to above 108eV. Studies of cosmic rays extend this range to the neighbourhood of 1019eV (about a Joule) and the aspects of high energy astrophysics discussed in the present paper are those concerned with cosmic rays of energy upwards of about 1015eV.
