High-energy astronomy
Summary
High energy astronomy is the study of astronomical objects that release electromagnetic radiation of highly energetic wavelengths. It includes X-ray astronomy, gamma-ray astronomy, extreme UV astronomy, neutrino astronomy, and studies of cosmic rays. The physical study of these phenomena is referred to as high-energy astrophysics.
Astronomical objects commonly studied in this field may include black holes, neutron stars, active galactic nuclei, supernovae, kilonovae, supernova remnants, and gamma ray bursts.
Some space and ground-based telescopes that have studied high energy astronomy include the following:
AGILE
AMS-02
AUGER
CALET
Chandra
Fermi
HAWC
H.E.S.S.
