In addition, a section on relativistic astrophysics discusses stellar contraction and collapse, neutron stars and their equations of state, black holes, and accretion onto collapsed objects, with a final section on cosmology discussing cosmological models, observational tests, and scenarios for the early universe. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis fully revised and updated second edition includes new material on relativistic effects, such as the behavior of clocks and measuring rods in motion, relativistic addition of velocities, and the twin paradox, as well as new material on gravitational waves, amongst other topics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mirjana Dalarsson,Nils Dalarsson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0128033975\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780128033975\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Academic Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/07\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 7.50w x 0.60d","brand":"Mirjana Dalarsson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48587606917375,"sku":"9780128033975","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tensors-relativity-and-cosmology-mirjana-dalarsson-9780128033975","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
