商品描述
Containing the latest, groundbreaking discoveries in the field, this textbook outlines the basics of Einstein's theory of gravity with a focus on its most important astrophysical consequences, including stellar structures, black holes, and the physics of gravitational waves.
Blending advanced topics - usually not found in introductory textbooks - with practical examples, pedagogical boxes and mathematical tools, this textbook maximises learning opportunities and is ideal for master and graduate students in Physics and Astronomy who want to deepen their understanding of General Relativity and its applications.
This new edition has been updated throughout to contain the latest gravitational wave discoveries and the most recent developments in the field, as well as new material on black hole solutions, tidal deformability of compact objects, and gravitational waveform modelling.
Key features:
- Provides a self-contained and consistent treatment of the subject that does not require advanced previous knowledge of the field.
- Explores the subject with a new focus on gravitational waves and astrophysical relativity, unlike current introductory textbooks.
- Fully up to date, containing the latest developments and discoveries in the field.

作者簡介
Valeria Ferrari is Professor of Theoretical Physics at Sapienza University of Rome (Italy), now retired. She has been Director of the Doctoral School in Physics of Sapienza, chaired the Virgo-EGO Scientific Forum and co-chaired the European Research Network COST Action GWverse. She has been a member of the Editorial Board of several international journals and of the Board of the International Society of General Relativity and Gravitation. She is a founding member of the Amaldi Research Center for Gravitational Physics at Sapienza. For more than forty years her research focused on black hole and stellar perturbations, and on gravitational wave sources.
Leonardo Gualtieri is Professor of Theoretical Physics at University of Pisa (Italy). He is a member of the Board of the International Society of General Relativity and Gravitation and has been the coordinator of TEONGRAV, the INFN network of Italian groups studying gravitational wave sources. He works in the field of gravitational theory and phenomenology, with special focus on gravitational wave sources as probes of fundamental physics.
Paolo Pani is Professor of Theoretical Physics at Sapienza University of Rome (Italy) and Senior Fellow at Sapienza's School for Advanced Studies. He received the SIGRAV Prize from the Italian Society of General Relativity and Gravitational Physics for his studies on black hole physics and gravitational wave phenomenology, and their connections to fundamental physics.
