Publisher's Synopsis

The papers presented in this volume are taken from several meetings held during the course of the World Space Congress. Recent Results in X-Ray and EUV Astronomy is based on new and exciting results from the recent space missions such as ASTRO, BBRXT, Ginga, Granat MIR-KVANT, ROSAT and EUVE covering a very wide range of astrophysics. A section on Infrared and Submillimeter Astronomy also forms part of this volume. New data is presented in the field of Gamma-Ray Astronomy which has been made possible by the full operation of two satellite experiments.;The deep understanding of the physical processes which govern most astrophysical sources is bound to the full knowledge of the radiation emitted over the whole electromagnetic spectrum. Known as Multi-Wavelength Astronomy, this comprehensive approach has revealed a promising new insight into the astrophysics of compact and energetic objects such as neutron stars or the active nuclei of galaxies.
