High-energy astronomy
High-energy astronomyis the study ofastronomicalobjects that releaseelectromagnetic radiationof highlyenergeticwavelengths.It includesX-ray astronomy,gamma-ray astronomy,extremeUV astronomy,neutrino astronomy,and studies ofcosmic rays.The physical study of these phenomena is referred to ashigh-energy astrophysics.[1]
Astronomical objects commonly studied in this field may includeblack holes,neutron stars,active galactic nuclei,supernovae,kilonovae,supernova remnants,andgamma-ray bursts.
