Neutrinos and Explosive Events in the Universe
Springer 2006; US$ 84.99Contains the Lectures and selected participant contributions to the 14th Course of the International School of Cosmic Rays Astrophysics. This work discusses different aspects of the generation of high energy signals in powerful astrophysical objects concentrating on the production of neutrinos and gamma rays from high energy particle interactions. more...
High Energy Radiation from Black Holes
Princeton University Press 2009; US$ 135.00Bright gamma-ray flares observed from sources far beyond our Milky Way Galaxy are best explained if enormous amounts of energy are liberated by black holes. The highest- energy particles in nature--the ultra-high-energy cosmic rays--cannot be confined by the Milky Way's magnetic field, and must originate from sources outside our Galaxy. Understanding... more...
Black Hole Uniqueness Theorems
Cambridge University Press 1996; US$ 49.00A self-contained introduction to the mathematical theory of black holes. more...
An Introduction to Black Holes, Information and the String Theory Revolution
World Scientific Publishing Company 2004; US$ 36.40Over the last decade the physics of black holes has been revolutionized by developments that grew out of Jacob Bekenstein's realization that black holes have entropy. Steven Hawking raised profound issues concerning the loss of information in black hole evaporation and the consistency of quantum mechanics in a world with gravity. more...
Joint Evolution of Black Holes and Galaxies
CRC Press 2006; US$ 189.95Black holes are among the most mysterious objects that the human mind has been capable of imagining. As pure mathematical constructions, they are tools for exploiting the fundamental laws of physics. As astronomical sources, they are part of our cosmic landscape, warping space-time, coupled to the large-scale properties and life cycle of their host... more...
The Black Hole At The Center Of The Milky Way
World Scientific Publishing Company 2005; US$ 103.00Reviewing the fundamental instrumental techniques and current observational results, this book unveils the mysteries of the physical processes in the central parsec of our Milky Way: the super-massive black hole embedded in a central stellar cluster as well as the gas and dust in the circumnuclear region. The observations described cover the entire... more...
Modeling Black Hole Evaporation
World Scientific Publishing Company 2005; US$ 86.00The scope of this book is two-fold: the first part gives a fully detailed and pedagogical presentation of the Hawking effect and its physical implications, and the second discusses the backreaction problem, especially in connection with exactly solvable semiclassical models that describe analytically the black hole evaporation process. The book aims... more...
Einstein's Enigma or Black Holes in My Bubble Bath
Springer 2006; US$ 31.99A funny rendition of the story of gravitation theory from the early historic origins to the developments in astrophysics, focusing on Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity and black-hole physics. more...
From X-ray Binaries to Quasars
Springer 2007; US$ 119.99A collection of papers using the relative advantages of studying stellar mass and supermassive black holes. The topics discussed here include the state of the art in black hole observational and theoretical work-variability, spectroscopy, disk-jet connections, and multi-wavelength campaigns on black holes. more...
The Edge of Infinity
Cambridge University Press 2003; US$ 53.00Answers to some of the most intriguing questions now being asked about black holes. more...
