Yet astronomers have found clear evidence for the existence of black holes, employing the same tools and techniques used to explore other celestial objects. In this sophisticated introduction, leading astronomer Charles Bailyn goes behind the theory and physics of black holes to describe how astronomers are observing these enigmatic objects and developing a remarkably detailed picture of what they look like and how they interact with their surroundings. Accessible to undergraduates and others with some knowledge of introductory college-level physics, this book presents the techniques used to identify and measure the mass and spin of celestial black holes. These key measurements demonstrate the existence of two kinds of black holes, those with masses a few times that of a typical star, and those with masses comparable to whole galaxies--supermassive black holes. The book provides a detailed account of the nature, formation, and growth of both kinds of black holes. The book also describes the possibility of observing theoretically predicted phenomena such as gravitational waves, wormholes, and Hawking radiation. A cutting-edge introduction to a subject that was once on the border between physics and science fiction, this book shows how black holes are becoming routine objects of empirical scientific study. 410 0$aPrinceton frontiers in physics. 606 $aBlack holes (Astronomy) 606 $aAstrophysics 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBlack holes (Astronomy) 615 0$aAstrophysics. 676 $a523.8/875 686 $aUS 2200$2rvk 700 $aBailyn$b Charles D.$01040278 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464341703321 996 $aWhat does a black hole look like$92463007 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01062nam 2200361 450 001 9910317793303321 005 20221013102911.0 010 $a1-83881-526-0 010 $a1-78923-711-4 035 $a(CKB)4970000000100151 035 $a(NjHacI)994970000000100151 035 $a(EXLCZ)994970000000100151 100 $a20221013d2018 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aEnergy systems and environment /$fedited by Pavel V.
