Overview

This text provides an overview of relativistic astrophysics, early universe physics, cosmology and their interface with particle physics at a level suitable for postgraduate students. Over the last decade or so the fields of astrophysics and particle physics have become increasingly interdependent. The new field of particle astrophysics is one of the hottest areas of modern physics, attracting students and researchers from different academic backgrounds. The book is an edited work based on lectures given at a graduate school by internationally known experts drawn from classical relativity, astrophysics, theoretical and experimental particle physics. There is an introduction to set the scene and provide a context for the book.

Reviews

...the volume is an interesting collection of articles. The most valuable chapters are those containing the extensive discussions of the experimental tests of relativity. They capture the excitement and recent progress very well. -Professor R. Ellis, Contemporary Physics
