Gravitational Radiation, Luminous Black Holes and Gamma-Ray Burst Supernovae by Maurice H. P. M. van Putten (PDF)

Description

Black holes and gravitational radiation are two of the most dramatic predictions of general relativity. The quest for rotating black holes – discovered by Roy P. Kerr as exact solutions to the Einstein equations – is one of the most exciting challenges facing physicists and astronomers. Gravitational Radiation, Luminous Black Holes and Gamma-Ray Burst Supernovae takes the reader through the theory of gravitational radiation and rotating black holes, and the phenomenology of GRB-supernovae. Topics covered include Kerr black holes and the frame-dragging of spacetime, luminous black holes, compact tori around black holes, and black-hole spin interactions. It concludes with a discussion of prospects for gravitational-wave detections of a long-duration burst in gravitational-waves as a method of choice for identifying Kerr black holes in the Universe. This book is ideal for a special topics graduate course on gravitational-wave astronomy and as an introduction to those interested in this contemporary development in physics.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐The book arrived on time and was in great condition. Amazing book for learning the basics of theoretical modeling in the field of general relativity.

⭐

⭐The book offers an unusual bridge between astrophysics and advanced general relativity especially in the debated field of gamma ray bursts. Junior scientists will need to refer to more basic references for the comprehension of some paragraphs.
