Rene Ong
Rene Ashwin Ong is an American astrophysicist known for his work in Experimental physics, experimental high-energy astrophysics, astroparticle physics, and particle physics. He is a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles. Education Ong graduated from the University of Michigan in 1981 and obtained his Ph.D. from Stanford University in 1987. He was a Robert R. McCormick Fellow at the Enrico Fermi Institute from 1988 to 1991, before becoming an assistant professor at the University of Chicago. Career Ong's early research focused on electron–positron annihilation at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory#PEP, SLAC PEP, including development of the first vertex drift chamber for a collider experiment with Martin Lewis Perl, Martin Perl, followed by his doctoral work on the B hadron lifetime. His research interests shifted to gamma-ray astronomy in 1990 after joining the Chicago Air Shower Array experiment, with the encouragement of James Cronin. He has since conti ...

High-energy Astrophysics
High energy astronomy is the study of astronomical objects that release electromagnetic radiation of highly energetic wavelengths. It includes X-ray astronomy, gamma-ray astronomy, extreme UV astronomy, neutrino astronomy, and studies of cosmic rays. The physical study of these phenomena is referred to as high-energy astrophysics. Astronomical objects commonly studied in this field may include black holes, neutron stars, active galactic nuclei, supernovae, kilonovae, supernova remnants, and gamma ray bursts. Missions Some space and ground-based telescopes that have studied high energy astronomy include the following: * AGILE * AMS-02 * AUGER * CALET * Chandra * Fermi * HAWC * H.E.S.S. * IceCube * INTEGRAL * MAGIC * NuSTAR * Swift * TA * XMM-Newton * VERITAS Veritas is the name given to the Roman virtue of truthfulness, which was considered one of the main virtues any good Roman should possess. The Greek goddess of truth is Aletheia (Ancient Greek: ). The German ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
