Introduction to Astrophysics of Microquasars

Astrophysics 2009-09-29 v1

Abstract

The Astrophysics of microquasars - galactic miniatures of the far distant quasars - has become one of the most active fields of modern Astronomy in recent years. Here I review the astronomical methods used for the investigation of these objects, from Gamma-rays over X-rays and optical to radio wavelengths. The description of each astronomical method is always followed by an examplary application on the source LS I+61 303, one of the most observed Be/X-ray binary systems
