Designed for teaching astrophysics to physics students at advanced
undergraduate or beginning graduate level, this textbook also
provides an overview of astrophysics for astrophysics graduate
students, before they delve into more specialized volumes. Assuming
background knowledge at the level of a physics major, the textbook
develops astrophysics from the basics without requiring any
previous study in astronomy or astrophysics. Physical concepts,
mathematical derivations and observational data are combined in a
balanced way to provide a unified treatment. Topics such as general
relativity and plasma physics, which are not usually covered in
physics courses but used extensively in astrophysics, are developed
from first principles. While the emphasis is on developing the
fundamentals thoroughly, recent important discoveries are
highlighted at every stage.
