Relativistic Hadrons in Cosmic Compact Objects: Proceedings of a Workshop Held in Koninki/Suhora, Poland 9–11 October 1990

Zdziarski, Andrzej A.; Sikora, Marek

The articles in this book deal with energetic hadron processes near astrophysical compact objects, including compact binary systems and active galactic nuclei. A variety of observational results suggest that relativistic hadrons can be produced in the vicinity of these objects. Amongthe topics treated in detail are the question whether a large fraction of the energy produced by active galactic nuclei is channeled into a population of relativistic protons and the problem of the origin of very high and ultra-high energy gamma rays from galactic compact sources.
