Description

The presentations at the 10th Anniversary Einstein Symposium and the articles in this book cover a wide variety of scientific topics describing some of the important advances and discoveries made with the Einstein Observatory. The breadth and depth of science carried out with Einstein has made it essentially impossible to cover fully individual subdisciplines in single review talks and papers. Some of the major Einstein highlights are summarized and the scientific prospects for AXAF are assessed. (author)
