摘要
高精力天体物理学是在当代的天体物理学的最活跃的分支之一。它学习射出 X 光检查和光线光子的天体物理学的目标，例如增大中子星的超级巨大、星尺寸的黑洞，和各种各样的种类。与许多卫星转菠、基于地面的观察设备的操作，高精力天体物理学在过去的十年喜欢快速的开发。这块地将继续在来十年很快进展，这被预见，与在高精力的中微子和重力的波浪隧道的天体物理学的来源的可能的开创性的发现。当它站在 2013，物理的边疆的这期特刊被奉献给高精力天体物理学的领域的系统的调查。
High energy astrophysics is one of the most active branches in the contemporary astrophysics. It studies astrophysical objects that emit X-ray and γ-ray photons, such as accreting super-massive and stellar-size black holes, and various species of neutron stars. With the operations of many space-borne and ground-based observational facilities, high energy astrophysics has enjoyed rapid development in the past decades. It is foreseen that the field will continue to advance rapidly in the coming decade, with possible ground-breaking discoveries of astrophysical sources in the high-energy neutrino and gravitational wave channels. This Special Issue of Frontiers of Physics is dedicated to a systematic survey of the field of high energy astrophysics as it stands in 2013.
