Description

Explore the mechanics of rotating black holes with The Kerr Spacetime, published by Cambridge University Press. This text provides a comprehensive overview of the Kerr space-time, which is essential for understanding the most energetic phenomena in our universe. From the core collapse of massive supernova explosions that produce gamma ray bursts to the supermassive black hole engines powering quasars and active galactic nuclei, this book covers the fundamental science behind these cosmic events. Readers gain access to unique historical accounts and original contributions from the researchers who led the way in black hole theory and observation. The book also includes Roy Kerr's own personal description of his 1963 discovery. Whether you are studying general relativity or the physics of active galactic nuclei, this volume offers a deep look into the science of rotating black holes and their role in the cosmos.
