| Abstract Note | The ultimate proofs that black holes exist have been obtained very recently thanks to the detection of gravitational waves from their coalescence and due to material orbiting at a distance of some gravitational radii imaged by optical interferometry or X-ray reverberation mapping. This book provides three comprehensive and up-to-date reviews covering the gravitational wave breakthrough, our understanding of accretion and feedback in supermassive black holes and the relevance of black holes for the Universe since the Big Bang. Neil J. Cornish presents gravitational wave emission from black hole mergers and the physics of detection. Andrew King reviews the physics of accretion on to supermassive black holes and their feedback on host galaxies. Tiziana Di Matteo addresses our understanding of black hole formation at cosmic dawn, the emergence of the first quasars, black hole merging and structure formation. The topics covered by the 48th Saas-Fee Course provide a broad overview of the importance of black holes in modern astrophysics |

| Title | The Physics of Accretion onto Black Holes |
| Author(s) | Falanga, Maurizio;Belloni, Tomaso;Casella, Piergiorgio;Gilfanov, Marat;Jonker, Peter;King, Andrew |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 2015. |
| Description | VIII, 492 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This title reviews in-depth research on accretion on all scales, from galactic binaries to intermediate mass and supermassive black holes. Possible future directions of accretion are also discussed. The following main themes are covered: a historical perspective; physical models of accretion onto black holes of all masses; black hole fundamental parameters; and??accretion, jets and outflows. An overview??and outlook on the topic is also presented.?? This volume summarizes the status of the study of astrophysical black hole research and is aimed at astrophysicists and graduate students working in this field.?? Originally??published in Space Science Reviews, Vol 183/1-4, 2014 |
