Physical phenomena in astrophysics and cosmology involve
gravitational collapse in a fundamental way. The final fate of a
massive star when it collapses under its own gravity at the end of
its life cycle is one of the most important questions in
gravitation theory and relativistic astrophysics, and is the
foundation of black hole physics. General relativity predicts that
continual gravitational collapse gives rise to a space-time
singularity. Quantum gravity may take over in such regimes to
resolve the classical space-time singularity. This book
investigates these issues, and shows how the visible ultra-dense
regions arise naturally and generically as an outcome of dynamical
gravitational collapse. It will be of interest to graduate students
and academic researchers in gravitation physics, fundamental
physics, astrophysics, and cosmology. It includes a detailed review
of recent research into gravitational collapse, and several
examples of collapse models are investigated in detail.
