Description
Summary:The contributions in this book give an up-to-date survey of the current activities in the People's Republic of China in high energy astrophysics, and especially a thorough discussion of supernovae theory. Among other papers the reader will find a Chinese study on the historical novae and supernovae never before published in English. The reader will find articles on cosmology, the formation of galaxies, radiation transport in strong magnetic fields, active galaxies, and a particularly nice exposition on cosmic strings. All papers are carefully edited and address researchers and graduate students in astronomy and astrophysics.
