The material included goes beyond that found in classic textbooks and presents details on astrophysical manifestations of black holes. In particular, jet physics and detailed accounts of objects like microquasars, active galactic nuclei, gamma-ray bursts, and ultra-luminous X-ray sources are covered, as well as advanced topics like black holes in alternative theories of gravity. The author avoids unnecessary technicalities and to some degree the book is self-contained. The reader will find some basic general relativity tools in Chapter 1. The appendices provide some additional mathematical details that will be useful for further study, and a guide to the bibliography on the subject.Lecture Notes in Physics,0075-8450 ;876AstrophysicsGravitationAstrophysics and Astroparticleshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22022Classical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19070Astrophysics.Gravitation.Astrophysics and Astroparticles.Classical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory.523.01Romero Gustavo E.authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1017083Vila Gabriela S.authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910132245303321Introduction to Black Hole Astrophysics2383415UNINA
