Compact Objects in the Universe

Beschreibung

The main objective of this volume is to discuss the physical properties, observational signals and various probes of compact objects in the Universe. These include black holes, neutron stars, and exotic objects studied in alternative theories of gravity. The text is mainly addressed to postgraduate students and young researchers with the aim of introducing them to these very challenging topics.
