The Space Radiation Environment and Background Noise in Astronomical Gamma-ray Telescopes

... take place throughout the universe. Consequently γ-ray astronomy is capable of providing fundamental insights into the underlying sources of energy which drive cosmic sources. Unfortunately this same close relationship also ensures that the observer's astronomical telescope itself becomes a bright source of background noise, a factor aggravated by the fact that γ-ray ...
