During the first decades after Einstein had developed his Theory of
General Relativity, the main effort was to understand the theory
and verify it experimentically. Meanwhile Genral Relativity is one
of the experimentally best confirmed theories and has become a
powerful tool for the investigation of cosmic processes where
strong gravitational fields are involved.
This book contains 16 contributions from well-known experts giving
a broad overview for non-specialists who want to learn how to
purely academic issues like gravitational wave detectors are now
put into reality.
This volume is published in honor of Friedrich Hund's 100th
birthday. It is a modern review on matter at high densities and
pressures in astrophysics from Hund's early contribution to
present-day ideas. The relation between the equation of state and
the structure of compact cosmic objects is discussed, and two main
contributions deal with the equation of state of baryonic matter at
nuclear densities and with the numerical solution of the general
relativistic field equations for non-rotating and rapidly rotating
neutron stars. In a final chapter the present state of
asteroseismology is presented as a tool to explore the interior of
cosmic objects by analyzing the observed free oscillations of the
Earth, the Sun, and white dwarf stars.
