High-energy astronomy

High-energy astronomy
High energy astronomy is the study of astronomical objects that release EM radiation of highly energetic wavelengths.

HIGH-ENERGY ASTRONOMY
High-energy astronomy studies the universe as it presents itself to us in X-rays and gamma rays"the types of radiation whose photons have the highest frequencies and hence the greatest energies.

In high-energy astronomy, astronomers gather light by counting photons, which are particles of light. The limit to our knowledge about the size, energy, or mass of an object depends on how certain we are of the number of photons collected.

When not creating, developing, and promoting education and outreach materials (many of which focus on high-energy astronomy and how it probes our Universe), Dr. Whitlock still tries to do scientific research in the area of X-ray binary systems.

completely different instruments to detect radiation of wavelengths of mm to cm. The receivers are similar to those used in radio broadcast transmission (which uses those wavelengths of radiation). See also Radio telescopes.
