The articles in this book deal with energetic hadron processes near

astrophysical compact objects, including compact binary systems and active galactic nuclei. A variety of observational results suggest that

relativistic hadrons can be produced in the vicinity of these objects. Amongthe topics treated in detail are the question whether a large fraction of the energy produced by active galactic nuclei is channeled into a

population of relativistic protons and the problem of the origin of very

high and ultra-high energy gamma rays from galactic compact sources.
