Physical phenomena in astrophysics and cosmology involve gravitational collapse in a fundamental way. The final fate of a massive star when it collapses under i

Einstein's General Theory of Relativity leads to two remarkable predictions: first, that the ultimate destiny of many massive stars is to undergo gravitational

An accessible introductory textbook on general relativity, covering the theory's foundations, mathematical formalism and major applications.

The physics of black holes and spacetime singularities is now a well established area of research in gravitation theory. Over recent years researchers have begu
