Supermassive Black Holes (Hardcover)

Written by an international leader in the field, this is a coherent
and accessible account of the concepts that are now vital for
understanding cutting-edge work on supermassive black holes. These
include accretion disc misalignment, disc breaking and tearing,
chaotic accretion, the merging of binary supermassive holes, the
demographics of supermassive black holes, and the defining effects
of feedback on their host galaxies. The treatment is largely
analytic and gives in-depth discussions of the underlying physics,
including gas dynamics, ideal and non-ideal magnetohydrodynamics,
force-free electrodynamics, accretion disc physics, and the
properties of the Kerr metric. It stresses aspects where
conventional assumptions may be inappropriate and encourages the
reader to think critically about current models. This volume will
be useful for graduate or Masters courses in astrophysics, and as a
handbook for active researchers in the field. eBook formats include
colour figures while print formats are greyscale only.
