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.
The first half of the course will focus mainly on X-ray observations, while the second half will focus on gamma-ray and cosmic-ray observations.
The first half of the course is a combination of face-to-face and online classes (not a hybrid).
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.
