ThisvolumecontainsselectedlecturespresentedattheSpanishRelativityMe- ingonRelativisticAstrophysicsheldattheEscuelaT¿ecnicaSuperiordeIn- nierosNavalesofMadrid,Spain,inSeptember2001. The meeting centered on the study of several aspects of Relativistic - trophysics from various viewpoints: theoretical, numerical and observational. Lectures and contributions dealt with issues related to black holes (accretion, thermodynamics, gravitational collapse, stability), numerical and perturbative aspects of astrophysical processes (black hole evolution, relativistic stars, jet hydrodynamics. . . )andproductionanddetectionofgravitationalwaves.

The present volume contains the expanded lectures of a meeting on relativistic astrophysics, the goal of which was to provide a modern introduction to specific aspects of the field for young researchers, as well as for nonspecialists from related areas. Particular emphasis is placed on the theory of black holes and evolution, relativistic stars and jet hydrodynamics, as well as the production and detection of gravitational waves. The book is complemented by further contributions and animation supplied on the accompanying CD-ROM.
