Riassunto

The book deals with energetic hadron processes near astrophysical compact objects. The consequences of relativistic hadron production in the vicinity of these objects are explored. Hadron-initiated electron-positron pair cascades, very high and ultra-high gamma rays, neutrinos, and relativistic free neutrons are discussed.
