Lecture Notes on High Energy Cosmic Rays
by M. Kachelriess
Publisher: arXiv.org 2008
Number of pages: 82
Description:
I give a concise introduction into high energy cosmic ray physics, including also few related aspects of high energy gamma-ray and neutrino astrophysics. The main emphasis is placed on astrophysical questions, and the level of the presentation is kept basic.

Mathematical Problems Of Radiative Equilibriumby Eberhard Hopf - Cambridge University Press
Schwarzschild's work on absorption and diffusion in the sun's atmosphere rendered the theory of radiative equilibrium a definite chapter of mathematical astrophysics. Besides the known results the reader will also find discussions of other models.

Neutrinos and the Starsby Georg Raffelt - arXiv
The role of neutrinos in stars is introduced for students with little prior astrophysical exposure. We begin with neutrinos as an energy-loss channel in ordinary stars and how stars provide information on neutrinos and possible other particles.
