These authors ranked among the greatest astrophysicists of the 20th century, and their work
is remarkable for its deep physical insights and clarity of presentation. This book explores
general relativity, properties of matter under astrophysical conditions, stars, and stellar …

In 1979 I gave graduate courses at the University of Zurich and lectured in the'Troisieme
Cycle de la Suisse Romande'(a consortium offour uni versities in the french-speaking part of
Switzerland), and these lectures were the basis of the'Springer Lecture Notes in Physics' …

Though the kinematics of the evolving universe became known decades ago, research into
the physics of processes occurring in the expanding universe received a reliable
observational and theoretical basis only in more recent years. These achievements have led …

Abstract We describe the Einstein Toolkit, a community-driven, freely accessible
computational infrastructure intended for use in numerical relativity, relativistic astrophysics,
and other applications. The toolkit, developed by a collaboration involving researchers from …

Relativistic Astrophysics brings together important astronomical discoveries and the
significant achievements, as well as the difficulties in the field of relativistic astrophysics. This
book is divided into 10 chapters that tackle some aspects of the field, including the …

This book constitutes the second volume of the monograph, Relativistic Astrophysics. It is
devoted to cosmology and can be read independently of the first volume. The expansion
and geometrical structure of the homogeneous, isotropic universe are examined, taking into …

In this book, the interesting results of similar works carried out by both authors
independently, is presented in a unique manner. This book is written as a token of exchange
between the East and the West and it is hoped that it will lead to greater cooperation …

The following examples illustrate the above statement. Chaotic chemical reactions can occur
in the interstellar medium [34]. Moreover, the interstellar medium is turbulent and mildly
supersonic. Therefore, the numerical modelization require numerical methods to describe chaos …
