Black Hole Formation and Growth
Cornish, Neil J. / King, Andrew / Di Matteo, Tiziana / Mayer, Lucio / Jetzer, Philippe / Produit, Nicolas / Walter, Roland
The ultimate proofs that black holes exist have been obtained very recently thanks to the detection of gravitational waves from their coalescence and due to material orbiting at a distance of some gravitational radii imaged by optical interferometry or X-ray reverberation mapping. This book provides three comprehensive and up-to-date reviews covering the gravitational wave breakthrough, our understanding of accretion and feedback in supermassi...
