Brief Summary of Each Supplement
Progress of Theoretical Physics Supplement No. 143
Gamma Ray Bursts and High Energy Astrophysics
Proceedings of the 15th Nishinomiya Yukawa Memorial Symposium
Edited by Fumio Takahara, Takashi Nakamura and Noriaki Shibazaki
Recent observational development in high energy astrophysics, such as
in cosmic gamma-ray bursts and extremely high energy cosmic rays,
have attracted much attention.
This Supplement gathers review articles
by world leaders in this field, based on invited lectures at the 15-th
Nishinomiya-Yukawa Symposium on theoretical physics in 2000 to review
the present theoretical and observational research.
The content includes
Gamma-Ray Bursts (Meszaros, Kulkarni, Nakamura), Observational High
Energy Astrophysics (Tanimori, Inoue, Teshima), Particle Acceleration
(Ellison, Hoshino), Black Holes (Blandford) and Laser Astrophysics (Takabe).
This volume provides a unique and coherent view on high energy astrophysics
and is most appropriate to survey the present status of the field, especially
to understand the fundamental theoretical problems with particle acceleration
mechanism, relativistic fireball and black hole astrophysics. This volume
is beneficial to researchers and graduate students in this field as well as to
those in related fields, who are interested in high energy astrophysics.
