The major theme of this KIAS Workshop encompasses astroparticle physics, astro-hadron physics, and relativistic astrophysics. The Workshop focused on highly explosive phenomena in astrophysical systems explored from a wide-ranging vista, such as supernova explosions, gamma-ray bursts, astrophysical jets, and neutron star and black hole systems which are believed to be the main origin of these explosive phenomena. Book News Annotation: Proceedings of a May 2000 conference held in Korea, bringing together
participants from various fields of physics—astro-particle
physics, astro-hadron physics, and relativistic astrophysics—to
discuss both theory and observations related to explosive phenomena
in astrophysical systems. Forty-two contributions are arranged in
sections on relativistic astrophysics and black holes; accretion,
magnetohydrodynamics, and dynamics; gamma-ray bursts; supernovae and
jets; and astrophysics. A sampling of topics: neutron star mergers in
and out of globular clusters, simulations of time-dependent high
energy emission from blazars, prompt GRB optical follow-up
experiments, and flares in X-ray transients. Indexed only by author,
not subject.
