| Title | Black Hole Formation and Growth : Saas-Fee Advanced Course 48. Swiss Society for Astrophysics and Astronomy |
| Author(s) | Di Matteo, Tiziana;King, Andrew;Cornish, Neil J;Walter, Roland;Jetzer, Philippe;Mayer, Lucio;Produit, Nicolas |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2019. |
| Description | XIII, 212 p. 138 illus., 129 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The ultimate proofs that black holes exist have been obtained very recently thanks to the detection of gravitational waves from their coalescence and due to material orbiting at a distance of some gravitational radii imaged by optical interferometry or X-ray reverberation mapping. This book provides three comprehensive and up-to-date reviews covering the gravitational wave breakthrough, our understanding of accretion and feedback in supermassive black holes and the relevance of black holes for the Universe since the Big Bang. Neil J. Cornish presents gravitational wave emission from black hole mergers and the physics of detection. Andrew King reviews the physics of accretion on to supermassive black holes and their feedback on host galaxies. Tiziana Di Matteo addresses our understanding of black hole formation at cosmic dawn, the emergence of the first quasars, black hole merging and structure formation. The topics covered by the 48th Saas-Fee Course provide a broad overview of the importance of black holes in modern astrophysics |

| Title | Astrophysics at Very High Energies : Saas-Fee Advanced Course 40. Swiss Society for Astrophysics and Astronomy |
| Author(s) | Aharonian, Felix;Bergstr??m, Lars;Dermer, Charles;Walter, Roland;T??rler, Marc |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2013. |
| Description | XII, 361 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | With the success of Cherenkov Astronomy and more recently with the launch of NASA???s Fermi mission, very-high-energy astrophysics has undergone a revolution in the last years. This book provides three comprehensive and up-to-date reviews of the recent advances in gamma-ray astrophysics and of multi-messenger astronomy. Felix Aharonian and Charles Dermer address our current knowledge on the sources of GeV and TeV photons, gleaned from the precise measurements made by the new instrumentation. Lars Bergstr??m presents the challenges and prospects of astro-particle physics with a particular emphasis on the detection of dark matter candidates. The topics covered by the 40th Saas-Fee Course present the capabilities of current instrumentation and the physics at play in sources of very-high-energy radiation to students and researchers alike. This book will encourage and prepare readers for using space and ground-based gamma-ray observatories, as well as neutrino and other multi-messenger detectors |

| Title | High-Energy Spectroscopic Astrophysics : Saas Fee Advanced Course 30. Lecture Notes 2000. Swiss Society for Astrophysics and Astronomy |
| Author(s) | Kahn, Steven M;Ballmoos, Peter;Sunyaev, Rashid A;G??del, Manuel;Walter, Roland |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2005. |
| Description | XIV, 295 p. 90 illus., 4 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | After three decades of intense research in X-ray and gamma-ray astronomy, the time was ripe to summarize basic knowledge on X-ray and gamma-ray spectroscopy for interested students and researchers ready to become involved in new high-energy missions. This volume exposes both the scientific basics and modern methods of high-energy spectroscopic astrophysics. The emphasis is on physical principles and observing methods rather than a discussion of particular classes of high-energy objects, but many examples and new results are included in the three chapters as well |
