• Sommario/riassunto: Black holes exist in galactic nuclei and in some X-ray binaries found in our own galaxy and the large Magellanic Cloud. This volume focuses on astrophysical high-energy emission processes around black holes, and the development of theoretical frameworks for interesting observational results. <br><i>Contents: </i><ul><li>Black Hole Observations</li><li>Accretion Disk/Formation of Jets</li><li>Energy Extraction from Rotating Black Holes</li><li>Supernova and Gamma Ray Bursts</li><li>Black Hole Astrophysics</li></ul><br><i>Readership: </i>Graduate students, post-docs and academics in astrophysic
