Colloquium – Atreya Acharyya – Astronomy at the Highest Photon Energies
Speaker: Dr.Atreya Acharyya (University of Alabama) Astronomy at the Highest Photon Energies Abstract: Most astronomical telescopes observe thermal radiation. However, this does not include the most energetic gamma-rays photons, produced by large particle accelerators in space, which also act as tracers for cosmic-ray sources. While gamma-rays can be observed using space-based detectors, their relatively small
