Research activities of the High Energy Astrophysics Group at IoA/NTHU include high energy astrophysics related instrumentations, observations, and theoretical investigation. Current on-going projects are described briefly in the following : ¡@

X-ray Occultation of Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs)

Isolated
Neutron Stars
Isolated neutron stars exhibit themselves in many different ways, like most radio pulsars, gamma-ray pulsars, Anomalous X-ray Pulsars (AXPs), Soft Gamma Repeaters (SGRs), and some isolated X-ray sources. Some of them may have extremely strong magnetic fields of 10^15 G, dubbed 'magnetars'. Some of them might be in fact 'quark stars'. Most of them show various kinds of emission mechanisms in their magnetospheres. We study these sources in both theoretical and observational aspects. Recent efforts are mainly on the polarization of gamma-ray emission from pulsars and the newly observed magnetar QPOs. |
