It covers all the main topics in this wide field, from the theory of accretion disks and formation mechanisms of jet and outflows, to their observed electromagnetic spectrum, and attempts to measure the spin of these objects. Black holes are one of the most fascinating predictions of general relativity and are currently a very hot topic in both physics and astrophysics. In the last five years there have been significant advances in our understanding of these systems, and in the next five years it should become possible to use them to test fundamental physics, in particular to predict the general relativity in the strong field regime. The book is both a reference work for researchers and a textbook for graduate students. 410 0$aAstrophysics and Space Science Library,$x0067-0057 ;$v440 606 $aAstrophysics 606 $aGravitation 606 $aAstrophysics and Astroparticles$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22022 606 $aClassical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19070 615 0$aAstrophysics. 615 0$aGravitation. 615 14$aAstrophysics and Astroparticles. 615 24$aClassical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory. 676 $a523.01 702 $aBambi$b Cosimo$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254618003321 996 $aAstrophysics of Black Holes$92513919 997 $aUNINA
