More about the book
Focusing on the intersection of black holes and gravitational radiation, this book explores the groundbreaking concept of rotating black holes, introduced by Roy P. Kerr. It delves into the theoretical framework of gravitational radiation and the phenomenology of gamma-ray burst supernovae. Key topics include frame-dragging in spacetime, luminous black holes, and the dynamics of black-hole spin interactions. The text also discusses the potential for detecting gravitational waves to identify Kerr black holes, making it a valuable resource for graduate studies in gravitational-wave astronomy.
