Gravitation in Astrophysics [E-Book] : Cargèse 1986 / edited by B. Carter, J. B. Hartle.
With the discovery of pulsars, quasars, and galactic X-ray sources in the late 60's and early 70's, and the coincident expansion in the search for gravitational waves, rela tivistic gravity assumed an important place in the astrophysics of localized objects. Only by pushing Einstein'...
