PDF-(BOOS)-Gravity\'s Fatal Attraction: Black Holes in the Universe

Richly illustrated with the images from observatories on the ground and in space and computer simulations this book shows how black holes were discovered and discusses what weve learned about their nature and their role in cosmic evolution This thoroughly updated third edition covers new discoveries made in the past decade including the discovery of gravitational waves from merging black holes and neutron stars the first closeup images of the region near a black hole event horizon and observations of debris from stars torn apart when they ventured too close to a supermassive black hole Avoiding mathematics the authors blend theoretical arguments with observational results to demonstrate how both have contributed to the subject Clear explanatory illustrations and photographs reveal the strange and amazing workings of our universe The engaging style makes this book suitable for introductory undergraduate courses amateur astronomers and all readers interested in astronomy and physics.

What is gravitational lensing, what has it told us about the universe, and what more can it tell us about the universe? Lenses such as black holes, stars, galaxies, clusters of galaxies, and the universe as a whole will be covered. Concepts such as Einstein rings, photon spheres, image pair creation events, and shear will be defined and briefly discussed. The intersection of gravitational lensing with current research frontiers will be reviewed including how microlensing is being used to search for extra-solar planets, how radio telescopes are being used to probe galaxy-center black holes, and how weak lensing is being used to probe galaxy evolution in the early universe. Possible lensing signals in continuing and upcoming missions such as Planck, DES, LSST, Euclid, and WFIRST will be reviewed. Relevant parts of the lecturer's own research will also be briefly mentioned. . Escape Velocity.
