[EAN: 9780226870359], Neubuch, [PU: University of Chicago Press, Chicago, IL], Paperback. The inevitability of gravitational collapse for stellar bodies of sufficient mass was convincingly demonstrated by S. Chandrasekhar in the 1930s, black holes and neutron stars played a minor role in serious analyses of physical or astrophysical phenomena until the discovery of quasars and pulsars in the 1960s. Black holes and neutron stars are now generally recognized as key components of many astrophysical systems, and play a central role in the understanding of gravitational phenomena at both the classical and quantum levels. Based on a symposium held in honour of S. Chandrasekhar, these papers provide a comprehensive summary of progress made in the 1990s on the theory of black holes and relativistic stars. A comprehensive summary of progress made during the past decade on the theory of black holes and relativistic stars, this collection includes discussion of structure and oscillations of relativistic stars, the use of gravitational radiation detectors, observational evidence for black holes, cosmic censorship, numerical work related to black hole collisions, the internal structure of black holes, black hole thermodynamics, information loss and other issues related to the quantum properties of black holes, and recent developments in the theory of black holes in the context of string theory. Volume contributors: Valeria Ferrari, John L. Friedman, James B. Hartle, Stephen W. Hawking, Gary T. Horowitz, Werner Israel, Roger Penrose, Martin J. Rees, Rafael D. Sorkin, Saul A. Teukolsky, Kip S. Thorne, and Robert M. Wald. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability., Books<

Although S. Chandrasekhar convincingly demonstrated the inevitability of gravitational collapse for stellar bodies of sufficient mass more than sixty-five years ago, black holes and neutron stars played a minor role in serious analyses of physical or astrophysical phenomena until the discovery of quasars and pulsars in the 1960s. Today, however, black holes and neutron stars are generally recognized as key components of many astrophysical systems. In addition, black holes now play a central role in our understanding of fundamental gravitational phenomena at both the classical and quantum level.Based on a symposium held in honor of S. Chandrasekhar, these papers--written by world experts in their fields--provide a comprehensive, up-to-date summary of progress made during the past decade on the theory of black holes and relativistic stars. Black Holes and Relativistic Stars will be of special interest to graduate students and researchers who work in general relativity, astrophysics, and quantum field theory.Contributors: Valeria Ferrari, John L.
