This manual pertains to the academic book "Gravitational Radiation, Luminous Black Holes and Gamma-Ray Burst Supernovae," authored by Maurice H. P. M. van Putten and published by Cambridge University Press in 2005. Categorized under Science, specifically Physics - Astrophysics, History, and Astronomy - General, this work delves into complex astrophysical phenomena. It is intended for graduate students in gravitational-wave astronomy and researchers interested in contemporary physics developments, offering insights into the theory of gravitational radiation and the behavior of black holes.
The scope of this manual covers essential topics including the theory of gravitational radiation, rotating black holes, frame-dragging, luminous black holes, and the phenomenology of Gamma-Ray Burst Supernovae. It explores concepts such as Kerr black holes, compact tori, black-hole spin interactions, and the prospects for gravitational-wave detections. The manual is structured to provide a comprehensive understanding of these subjects, drawing upon the theoretical framework of General Relativity and Einstein Equations.
Black holes and gravitational radiation are two of the most dramatic predictions of general relativity. The quest for rotating black holes - discovered by Roy P. Kerr as exact solutions to the Einstein equations - is one of the most exciting challenges currently facing physicists and astronomers. Gravitational Radiation, Luminous Black Holes and Gamma-Ray Burst Supernovae takes the reader through the theory of gravitational radiation and rotating black holes, and the phenomenology of GRB-supernovae. Topics covered include Kerr black holes and the frame-dragging of spacetime, luminous black holes, compact tori around black holes, and black-hole spin interactions. It concludes with a discussion of prospects for gravitational-wave detections of a long-duration burst in gravitational-waves as a method of choice for identifying Kerr black holes in the Universe. This book is ideal for a special topics graduate course on gravitational-wave astronomy and as an introduction to those interested in this contemporary development in physics.
