Current High-Energy Emission Around Black Holes, Proceedings of the 2nd Kias Astrophysics Workshop

by Heon-Young Chang (Editor), Chang-Hwan Lee (Editor)

Black holes exist in galactic nuclei and in some X-ray binaries found in our own galaxy and the large Magellanic Cloud. This volume focuses on astrophysical high-energy emission processes around black holes, and the development of theoretical frameworks for interesting observational results.
