Black Holes: A Laboratory for Testing Strong Gravity [E-Book] / by Cosimo Bambi.
This textbook introduces the current astrophysical observations of black holes, and discusses the leading techniques to study the strong gravity region around these objects with electromagnetic radiation. More importantly, it provides the basic tools for writing an astrophysical code and testing the...
