Description

Compact objects are an important class of astronomical objects in current research. Supermassive black holes are important to understanding of the formation of galaxies in the early Universe. Old white dwarfs are used to calibrate the age of the Universe. Mergers of neutron stars and black holes are the sources of intense gravitational waves. Compact Objects in Astrophysics gives a comprehensive introduction and up-to-date overview of the physical processes behind these objects, covering the most recent results, including all relevant observations. After a presentation of the taxonomy of compact objects, the basic principles of general relativity are given. The author then discusses in detail the physics and observations of white dwarfs and neutron stars including the most recent equations of state for neutron star matter; the gravitational field of rapidly rotating compact objects, rotating black holes including ray tracing and black hole magnetospheres; gravitational waves, and the latest understanding of accretion processes.
