Based on this theory, Gravitation examines compact objects (including white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes) and gravitational waves, and then explores the importance of relativity in cosmology, the Big Bang and the organization of structure in the universe. Many practical examples are also provided throughout the book. 4aAstronomy & Astrophysics 4aGeophysics00ageneral relativity; gravitation; compact objects; white dwarfs; neutron stars; black holes; cosmology; Big Bang08iPrinted edition:z978178945120740uhttps://doi.org/10.1002/9781394306503aWiley Online Library40uhttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/action/showBook?doi=10.1002%2F9781394306503aWiley Online Library423Cover Imageuhttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/cms/asset/89b093fd-25f3-4bb2-a82a-31d16b8ebdfc/9781394306503.cover.gifaWiley Online Library
