This book contains the elaborated and updated versions of the 24
lectures given at the 43rd Saas-Fee Advanced Course. Written by
four eminent scientists in the field, the book reviews the physical
processes related to star formation, starting from
cosmological down to galactic scales. It presents a detailed
description of the interstellar medium and its link with the star
formation. And it describes the main numerical computational
techniques designed to solve the equations governing
self-gravitating fluids used for modelling of galactic and
extra-galactic systems. This book provides a unique framework which
is needed to develop and improve the simulation techniques designed
for understanding the formation and evolution of galaxies.
Presented in an accessible manner it contains the present day state
of knowledge of the field. It serves as an entry point and key
reference to students and researchers in astronomy, cosmology, and
physics.

The ultimate proofs that black holes exist have been obtained very
recently thanks to the detection of gravitational waves from their
coalescence and due to material orbiting at a distance of some
gravitational radii imaged by optical interferometry or X-ray
reverberation mapping. This book provides three comprehensive and
up-to-date reviews covering the gravitational wave breakthrough,
our understanding of accretion and feedback in supermassive black
holes and the relevance of black holes for the Universe since the
Big Bang. Neil J. Cornish presents gravitational wave emission from
black hole mergers and the physics of detection. Andrew King
reviews the physics of accretion on to supermassive black holes and
their feedback on host galaxies. Tiziana Di Matteo addresses our
understanding of black hole formation at cosmic dawn, the emergence
of the first quasars, black hole merging and structure formation.
The topics covered by the 48th Saas-Fee Course provide a broad
overview of the importance of black holes in modern astrophysics.
