Beskrivning

Relativistic effects become increasingly important in observational astrophysics. This book covers this topic in the form of a collection of readable articles. The reader will find papers on gravitational lensing, the relativistic n-body problem, gravitational waves, interferometry and lunar laser-ranging measurements etc.
