内容説明

A number of gravitational-wave detectors are currently being built around the world. Their goal is to detect gravitational radiation for the first time. A graduate workshop at the 'Centre de Physique' in Les Houches in the French Alps was dedicated to this exciting topic. In this book, a distinguished team of researchers review all aspects of this entirely new view of our Universe. An accompanying free CD-ROM provides numerical simulations of black holes and other exotic objects emitting gravitational radiation, together with the book in a hypertext format. We are introduced to the most recent models of gravitational-wave emission by black hole-neutron star binary systems, stars undergoing gravitational collapse, pulsars and accreting neutron stars, and by fluctuations in the primordial Universe. This timely volume provides an invaluable introduction for graduate students and is set to become the standard reference for researchers in physics and astronomy interested in gravitational radiation.
