'Why'? Why is the world, the Universe the way it is? Is space infinitely large? How small is small? What happens when one continues to divide matter into ever smaller pieces? Indeed, what is matter? Is there anything else besides what can be seen? Pursuing the questions employing the leading notions of physics, one soon finds that the tangible and visible world dissolves — rather unexpectedly — into invisible things and domains that are beyond direct perception. A remarkable feature of our Universe is that most of its constituents turn out to be invisible, and this fact is brought out with great force by this book.Exploring the Invisible Universe covers the gamut of topics in advanced modern physics and provides extensive and well substantiated answers to these questions and many more. Discussed in a non-technical, yet also non-trivial manner, are topics dominated by invisible things — such as Black Holes and Superstrings as well as Fields, Gravitation, the Standard Model, Cosmology, Relativity, the Origin of Elements, Stars and Planetary Evolution, and more. Just giving the answer, as so many books do, is really not telling anything at all. To truly answer the 'why' questions of nature, one needs to follow the chain of reasoning that scientists have used to come to the conclusions they have. This book does not shy away from difficult-to-explain topics by reducing them to one-line answers and power phrases suitable for a popular talk show. The explanations are rigorous and straight to the point. This book is rarely mathematical without being afraid, however, to use elementary mathematics when called for. In order to achieve this, a large number of detailed figures, specially developed for this book and found nowhere else, convey insights that otherwise might either be inaccessible or need lengthy and difficult-to-follow explanations.After Exploring the Invisible Universe, a reader will have a deeper insight into our current understanding of the foundations of Nature and be able to answer all the questions above and then some. To understand Nature and the cutting edge ideas of contemporary physics, this is the book to have.

For the last 40 years astronomers have observed sources of intense X-ray radiation from beyond our Solar System. These have been associated with remarkable objects, such as neutron stars and black holes. Current satellite observatories have enabled us to extend the studies of these objects from the Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds to individual X-ray sources in other galaxies. At the same time, imaging facilities at gamma-rays and TeV energies have improved enormously, leading to many further discoveries within our own galaxy. This Symposium presents an overview of these new developments, covering detailed studies of individual sources within the Milky Way, global descriptions of X-ray source populations in other galaxies, and less resolved relatives at high redshift. Galaxy nuclei and diffuse emission components are included, as are new discoveries at gamma-rays and TeV energies. IAU S230 is a valuable resource for astronomers and graduates working in high-energy astrophysics.

One of the most attractive features of the young discipline of Space Science is that many of the original pioneers and key players involved are still available to describe their field. Hence, at this point in history we are in a unique position to gain first-hand insight into the field and its development. To this end, The Century of Space Science, a scholarly, authoritative, reference book presents a chapter-by-chapter retrospective of space science as studied in the 20th century. The level is academic and focuses on key discoveries, how these were arrived at, their scientific consequences and how these discoveries advanced the thoughts of the key players involved. With over 90 world-class contributors, such as James Van Allen, Cornelis de Jager, Eugene Parker, Reimar Lüst, and Ernst Stuhlinger, and with a Foreword by Lodewijk Woltjer (past ESO Director General), this book will be immensely useful to readers in the fields of space science, astronomy, and the history of science. Both academic institutions and researchers will find that this major reference work makes an invaluable addition to their collection.

The Astro 2020 Decadal report (Pathways to Discovery in Astronomy and Astrophysics for the 2020s) identified the need for a new class of mission for the next decade that fills the gap between a Mid-sized Explorer (MIDEX) and Flagship (Large) mission. The report specifically recommends that a cadence of one probe mission per decade with a cost cap of $1.5 billion balances scientific scope with timeliness. NASA has followed this recommendation and opened a call for Astrophysics Probe Explorer (APEX) proposals, restricted to either a far-infrared or an X-ray mission, due in Fall 2023 with a planned launch date in no later than 2032. In response to this call, the High-Energy X-ray Probe (HEX-P) concept has been developed as a partnership between NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), and the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), with international partnership from the Italian Space Agency (ASI; Italy), the German Space Agency (DLR), and the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE; Germany). HEX-P is a mission concept that offers sensitive broad-band coverage from soft to hard X-rays (0.2 − 80 keV), with an exceptional combination of spectral, timing, and angular capabilities. It features two high-energy telescopes (HETs) that focus hard X-rays, and one low-energy telescope (LET) that focuses lower energy X-rays, building upon the heritage of previous successful missions such as XMM-Newton and NuSTAR. With this leap in observational capability, HEX-P will be capable of addressing fundamental questions about the extreme environments around black holes and neutron stars, map the growth of supermassive black holes, and quantify the effect they have on their environments. HEX-P will resolve the hard X-ray emission from dense regions of our Galaxy to understand the high-energy source populations and investigate dark matter candidate particles through their decay channel signatures. In this Frontiers Research Topic we present a collection of papers which delve into some of the most exciting scientific questions that can be addressed with a mission like HEX-P. The papers have been prepared by members of the HEX-P collaboration, which is organized into four main scientific pillars: • Black Hole Growth • Accretion Power • Stellar Evolution • Time-Domain and Multi-Messenger Astronomy The individual papers cover a range of topics, including: • The cosmic X-ray background • Seyfert galaxies, Compton-thick active galaxies, and blazars • Black hole binaries, neutron stars, magnetars, ultraluminous X-ray sources, and tidal disruption events • The physics of the X-ray corona • X-ray populations in nearby galaxies • Supernova remnants, pulsar wind nebulae, and nuclear astrophysics • Galactic PeVatrons, star clusters, superbubbles, microquasar jets, and gamma-ray binaries • The Galactic Center • Supermassive black spin measurements and dual active galaxies • Pulsar Timing, electromagnetic counterparts of gravitational wave sources and transient phenomena The main goal of this Research Topic is to present detailed modeling and simulations for a range of HEX-P science cases in order to demonstrate the capabilities of HEX-P in serving the astrophysics community in the next decade. The members of the HEX-P mission are welcome to present Original Research papers, as well as any other kind of article types that fit their manuscript. Please, have a look at here to choose the appropriate article type to submit to this collection. This Research Topic is organized by the researchers of the HEX-P mission. Authors and Guest Editors belong to the same consortium. Furthermore, Dr. Daniel Stern and Dr. Javier Garcia are the Principal Investigator and the Project Scientist of the mission respectively. All manuscripts will be peer-reviewed by researchers external to the collaboration.

Since the Space Age began a quarter-century ago, astronomers have been able to reach out and often touch celestial bodies that formerly could only be dimly viewed from afar. Probes have flown by or landed on many of the planets. Astronauts have made direct observations from Earth orbit and on the Moon. Most important, a host of satellites in Earth orbit have recorded the emissions of X-ray, infrared, and ultraviolet radiation from distant sources normally invisible beneath the atmosphere. And when the Space Telescope goes aloft, man's vision of the cosmos will be extended further still. The essays in this book describe the results of twenty-five years of space observation, summarize what has been learned so far, and speculate on the possibilities that are now within grasp. Leo Goldberg provides a point of departure by describing what astronomy was like when it was limited to peering at the night sky through Earthbound telescopes. Goldberg also expresses the hopes astronomers had for discovery in the anticipated Age of Space. The chapters that follow reveal what has been discovered about the geological features of the inner planets (James W. Head, III), the Moon (John A. Wood), the giant planets as seen during the close encounters of the Voyagers (Bradford A. Smith), and the Sun (Randolph H. Levine). The next chapters document the first ventures into deep space and describe the understanding of a previously invisible universe revealed by ultraviolet sources (Andrea K. Dupree) and X-ray sources within the Milky Way (Jonathan E. Grindlay) and beyond (Paul Gorenstein). George B. Field, who chaired the National Academy of Science committee charged with developing priorities for U.S. astronomical research in the 1980s, discusses the future of space astronomy. An epilogue by Ursula B. Marvin describes a planet body that until recently had never been seen from the vantage point of space: the Earth itself. The editors and most of the contributors are affiliated with the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. James Cornell also edited, with Alan P. Lightman, Revealing the Universe: Prediction and Proof in Astronomy (MIT Press paperback).

Space experiments have opened practically all electromagnetic windows on the Universe. A discussion of the most important results obtained with multi-frequency photonic astrophysics experiments will provide new input to advance our knowledge of physics, very often in its more extreme conditions. A multitude of high quality data across the whole electromagnetic spectrum came at the scientific community's disposal a few years after the beginning of the Space Era. With these data we are attempting to explain the physics governing the Universe and its origin, which continues to be a matter of the greatest curiosity for humanity. In this book we describe the latest steps of the investigations born with the advent of space experiments. We highlight the most important results, identify unsolved problems, and comment on perspectives we can reasonably expect. This book aims to provide a useful tool for the reader who is not specialized in space astrophysics and for students. Therefore, the book is written in the form of a review with a still reasonable length, taking into account the complexity of the arguments discussed. We do not claim to present a complete picture of the physics governing the Universe, but have rather selected particular topics for a more thorough discussion. A cross section of essays on historical, modern, and philosophical topics is offered and combined with personal views into tricks of the space astrophysics trade.
