Course description
Space satellites and balloons are used for X-ray and gamma-ray observations. Technologies of electronic information systems are required to observe X-rays and gamma rays under space environment. In this class, we study the X-ray and gamma-ray observations by using satellites and balloons.
Purpose of class
Purpose of this class is to understand basics of observation technology of space astronomy.
Goals and objectives
  1. To understand technologies of electronic information systems in the X-ray and gamma-ray observations.
  2. To understand the concepts of astrophysical observations.
  3. To understand the detection principle of X rays and gamma rays.
Language
Japanese
