Relativistic Hadrons in Cosmic Compact Objects Proceedings of a Workshop Held in Koninki/Suhora, Poland 9–11 October 1990 / edited by Andrzej A. Zdziarski, Marek Sikora.

The articles in this book deal with energetic hadron processes near astrophysical compact objects, including compact binary systems and active galactic nuclei. A variety of observational results suggest that relativistic hadrons can be produced in the vicinity of these objects. Amongthe topics treat...
