Items related to Relativistic Figures of Equilibrium
First book of its kind! This much-needed text treats the classical problem of gravitational physics within Einstein's theory of general relativity. It presents the basic principles and equations needed to describe rotating fluid bodies, as well as black holes in equilibrium. In recent years, the study of neutron stars and black holes has become increasingly important, and rigorous mathematical analysis needs to be applied in order to understand their basic physics; This text fills the void! The book concludes by considering the general case using powerful numerical methods that are applied to various models, including the classical example of equilibrium figures of constant density. Researchers in general relativity, mathematical physics, and astrophysics will find this a valuable reference book on the topic.

Book Description:
Treating the classical problem of gravitational physics, this book presents basic principles, deals with analytically tractable limiting cases, and considers the general case using powerful numerical methods. A valuable reference for researchers in general relativity, mathematical physics and astrophysics, it is accompanied by a website containing code.
Review:
"... A rigorous treatment of the simple models using both analytical and numerical methods."
Book News
"Nicely produced by Cambridge University Press, this rather specialized book rich in analytical and numerical methods is of value to students and professional researchers in general relativity, mathematical physics and astrophysics."
Gerard A. Maugin, Mathematical Reviews
"The results of this book are of importance for a better understanding of the state of the dynamics of astrophysical objects, which will influence, among others, future high precision observations and the calculation of gravitational wave templates."
