Rotating black holes, as described by the Kerr space-time, are the
key to understanding the most violent and energetic phenomena in
the Universe, from the core collapse of massive supernova
explosions producing powerful bursts of gamma rays, to supermassive
black hole engines that power quasars and other active galactic
nuclei. This book is a unique, comprehensive overview of the Kerr
space-time, with original contributions and historical accounts
from researchers who have pioneered the theory and observation of
black holes, and Roy Kerr s own description of his 1963 discovery.
It covers all aspects of rotating black holes, from mathematical
relativity to astrophysical applications and observations, and
current theoretical frontiers. This book provides an excellent
introduction and survey of the Kerr space-time for researchers and
graduate students across the spectrum of observational and
theoretical astrophysics, general relativity, and high-energy
physics.
