Timescale Spectra in High Energy Astrophysics
arXiv:astro-ph/0212020 · doi:10.1007/978-94-017-0403-8_2
Abstract
A technique of timescale analysis performed directly in the time domain has been developed recently. We have applied the technique to studying rapid variabilities of hard X-rays from neutron star and black hole binaries, gamma-ray bursts and terrestrial gamma-ray flashes. The results indicate that the time domain method of spectral analysis is a powerful tool in revealing the underlying physics in high-energy processes in objects.
