Description

Explore the complex world of gravitational physics with Relativistic Figures of Equilibrium. Published by Cambridge University Press, this academic text provides a comprehensive look at classical problems through the lens of Einstein's theory of general relativity. Designed for researchers in general relativity and theoretical astronomy, the book builds a foundation by presenting the essential principles and equations required to describe rotating fluid bodies and black holes in equilibrium. Readers will find detailed analysis of analytically tractable limiting cases, with a specific focus on the rigidly rotating disc of dust. Moving beyond theory, the text addresses the general case by utilizing powerful numerical methods. These methods are applied to various models, including the classic study of equilibrium figures of constant density. This book serves as a vital resource for those studying the mathematical and theoretical aspects of space science and gravitational physics.
