Cambridge University Press Cambridge New Frontiers in Black Hole Astrophysics IAU S324

Explore the cutting edge of space science with New Frontiers in Black Hole Astrophysics. This volume contains the proceedings from the 324th Symposium of the International Astronomical Union held in Ljubljana. It marks the significant 100th anniversary of Schwarzschild's solution to Einstein's field equations, which first predicted the existence of black holes. From the early theoretical predictions to the modern discovery of coalescing black holes producing gravitational waves, this book tracks the massive progress made in the field. It brings together observational and theoretical experts to discuss the current state-of-the-art in black-hole systems. This text is an essential resource for those studying cosmology and astrophysics. It provides deep insights into how these fascinating phenomena are understood and exploited in modern research. Whether you are looking into the history of gravitational waves or the latest astrophysical discoveries, this Cambridge University Press publication offers a comprehensive look at the current scientific landscape.
