Cosmic radiation in contemporary astronphysics
Abstract
The present conference on astrophysical studies of cosmic radiation considers the elemental and isotopic cosmic ray abundances, particle acceleration by pulsars, by magnetic reconnection, by binary neutron stars, and by stochastic processes in cosmic objects, the energetics of cosmic ray origin, and the anisotropies of high energy cosmic rays. Also discussed are gamma rays, cosmic rays, and the interstellar medium, COS-B satellite data on the galactic cosmic ray distribution, ultrahigh energy gamma ray astronomy, the relationship between cosmic rays and the interstellar medium, pulsating X-ray sources, X-ray burst sources, X-ray sky surveys, and the cosmological evolution and X-ray background contribution of quasars.
