General Relativity and Its Applications: Black Holes, Compact Stars and Gravitational Waves de Valeria Ferrari

General Relativity and Its Applications: Black Holes, Compact Stars and Gravitational Waves

Autor Valeria Ferrari, Leonardo Gualtieri, Paolo Pani
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 iul 2026
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.

Recenzii

"The book is an excellent starting point for students interested in gravitational wave astronomy and relativistic astrophysics, introducing the reader to exciting recent developments, such as the first LIGO/Virgo observations of gravitational waves from the mergers of black holes and neutron stars. The choice of material is well-balanced and it includes important topics which are not usually covered in detail in introductory textbooks, such as black hole perturbation theory and geodesic motion in the Kerr spacetime." — Dr. Emanuele Berti, Professor, Johns Hopkins University, USA

Notă biografică

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.
