Title | Revealing the heart of the galaxy: The Milkey Way and Its Black Hole |
Author(s) | Robert H. Sanders |
Publication | Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2014. |
Description | ix, 197p. |
Abstract Note | Written in an informal and engaging style, this volume traces the discoveries that led to our understanding of the size and structure of the Milky Way, and the conclusive evidence for a massive black hole at its center. Robert H. Sanders, an astronomer who witnessed many of these developments, describes how we parted the veil of interstellar dust to probe the strange phenomena within. We now know that the most luminous objects in the Universe - quasars and radio galaxies - are powered by massive black holes at their hearts. But how did black holes emerge from being a mathematical peculiarity, a theoretical consequence of Einstein's theory of gravity, to become part of the modern paradigm that explains active galactic nuclei and galaxy evolution in normal galaxies such as the Milky Way? This story, aimed at non-specialist readers and students and historians of astronomy, will both inform and entertain. |

Title | Black holes in higher dimensions |
Author(s) | Gary T. Horowitz (ed.) |
Publication | Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2012. |
Description | xiii, 422p. |
Abstract Note | Black holes are one of the most remarkable predictions of Einstein's general relativity. In recent years, ideas in brane-world cosmology, string theory and gauge/gravity duality have motivated studies of black holes in more than four dimensions, with surprising results. In higher dimensions, black holes exist with exotic shapes and unusual dynamics. Edited by leading expert Gary Horowitz, this exciting book is the first devoted to this new field. The major discoveries are explained by the people who made them: Rob Myers describes the MyersâPerry solutions that represent rotating black holes in higher dimensions; Ruth Gregory describes the GregoryâLaflamme instability of black strings; and Juan Maldacena introduces gauge/gravity duality, the remarkable correspondence that relates a gravitational theory to nongravitational physics. Accessible to anyone with a standard course in general relativity, this is an important resource for graduate students and researchers in general relativity, string theory and high energy physics. |

Title | Galaxies in turmoil: The Active and Starburst Galaxies and The Black holes that Drive them |
Author(s) | Chris Kitchin |
Publication | London, Springer-Verlag, 2007. |
Description | xiii, 298p. |
Abstract Note | Written for amateur astronomers, school and college science students and for those with a more general interest in science, Galaxies in Turmoil provides a readable, non-mathematical account of one of the hottest areas of astronomical research.
Galaxies in Turmoil is equally suitable for practical amateur astronomers, or as a text for college courses including galaxies, active galaxies, quasars, deep-space objects and large-scale astronomy, up to the final year of an astrophysics, physics or science degree. |

Title | Introduction to black hole physics |
Author(s) | Valeri P. Frolov;Andrei Zelnikov |
Publication | New York, Oxford University Press, 2011. |
Description | xvi, 488p. |
Abstract Note | This book is about black holes, one of the most intriguing objects of modern Theoretical Physics and Astrophysics. For many years, black holes have been considered as interesting solutions of the theory of General Relativity with a number of amusing mathematical properties. Now after the discovery of astrophysical black holes, the Einstein gravity has become an important tool for their study. This self-contained textbook combines physical, mathematical, and astrophysical aspects of black hole theory. Pedagogically presented, it contains 'standard' material on black holes as well as relatively new subjects such as the role of hidden symmetries in black hole physics, and black holes in spacetimes with large extra dimensions. The book will appeal to students and young scientists interested in the theory of black holes. |

Title | Our universe: The thrill of extragalactic exploration as told by leading experts |
Author(s) | S. Alan Stern |
Publication | Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2001. |
Description | viii, 152p. |
Contents Note | Book i sa fascinating collection of essays on extragalactic astronomy and cosmology at the dwan of the twenty-first century. This is the second in a series of extrordinary books in which S. Alan Stern has brough together leading space scientists to describe their work.

Title | Gravitational radiation, luminous black holes and gamma-ray burst supernovae |
Author(s) | Maurice H.P.M. van Putten |
Publication | Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2005. |
Description | xvii, 308p. |
Abstract Note | 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.
