[资源] 剑桥2010年Numerical.Relativity.Solving.Einstein's.Equations.on.the.Computer

Aimed at students and researchers entering the field, this pedagogical introduction
to numerical relativity will also interest scientists seeking a broad survey of its
challenges and achievements. Assuming only a basic knowledge of classical general
relativity, this textbook develops the mathematical formalism from first principles,
then highlights some of the pioneering simulations involving black holes and neutron
stars, gravitational collapse and gravitational waves.
The book contains 300 exercises to help readers master new material as it is
presented. Numerous illustrations, many in color, assist in visualizing new geometric
concepts and highlighting the results of computer simulations. Summary boxes
encapsulate some of the most important results for quick reference. Applications covered
include calculations of coalescing binary black holes and binary neutron stars,
rotating stars, colliding star clusters, gravitational and magnetorotational collapse,
critical phenomena, the generation of gravitational waves, and other topics of current
physical and astrophysical significance.
ThomasW. Baumgarte is a Professor of Physics at Bowdoin College and an Adjunct
Professor of Physics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He received
his Diploma (1993) and Doctorate (1995) from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universit¨at,
M¨unchen, and held postdoctoral positions at Cornell University and the University
of Illinois before joining the faculty at Bowdoin College. He is a recipient of a
John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship. He has written over 70
research articles on a variety of topics in general relativity and relativistic astrophysics,
including black holes and neutron stars, gravitational collapse, and more formal
mathematical issues.
Stuart L. Shapiro is a Professor of Physics and Astronomy at the University of
Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He received his A.B from Harvard (1969) and his
Ph.D. from Princeton (1973). He has published over 340 research articles spanning
many topics in general relativity and theoretical astrophysics and coauthored the
widely used textbook Black Holes, White Dwarfs and Neutron Stars: The Physics of
Compact Objects (JohnWiley, 1983). In addition to numerical relativity, Shapiro has
worked on the physics and astrophysics of black holes and neutron stars, relativistic
hydrodynamics, magnetohydrodynamics and stellar dynamics, and the generation of
gravitational waves. He is a recipient of an IBM Supercomputing Award, a Forefronts
of Large-Scale Computation Award, an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship, a John
Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship, and several teaching citations.
He has served on the editorial boards of The Astrophysical Journal Letters and
Classical and Quantum Gravity. Hewas elected Fellowof both the American Physical
Society and Institute of Physics (UK).
