“The book presents a fairly complete overview of what is currently known about elementary particles of astronomic origin, both experimentally and theoretically. … For the applied mathematician, the book can serve as a reference work, but maybe even more so as an incentive to research since it states many open questions and problems pertaining to this new branch of particle physics.” (Reinhard Redlinger, Mathematical Reviews, December, 2017)
