<內容簡介>
This textbook explores approximate solutions to general relativity and their consequences. It offers a unique presentation of Einstein's theory by developing powerful methods that can be applied to astrophysical systems. Beginning with a uniquely thorough treatment of Newtonian gravity, the book develops post-Newtonian and post-Minkowskian approximation methods to obtain weak-field solutions to the Einstein field equations. The book explores the motion of self-gravitating bodies, the physics of gravitational waves, and the impact of radiative losses on gravitating systems. It concludes with a brief overview of alternative theories of gravity. Ideal for graduate courses on general relativity and relativistic astrophysics, the book examines real-life applications, such as planetary motion around the Sun, the timing of binary pulsars, and gravitational waves emitted by binary black holes. Text boxes explore related topics and provide historical context, and over 100 exercises present challenging tests of the material covered in the main text.
>Gives a thorough coverage of Newtonian gravity and unique treatment of post-Newtonian and post-Minkowskian approximations to general relativity
>Text is enhanced by textboxes summarizing the main results, exploring related topics, and provide historical context and opinions
>Interesting and challenging exercises at the end of each chapter help test and develop the reader's understanding of the material

內容簡介
這本教科書探討廣義相對論的近似解及其後果。它通過發展可應用於天體物理系統的強大方法,提供了愛因斯坦理論的獨特呈現。書中首先對牛頓引力進行了獨特而徹底的處理,然後發展了後牛頓和後閔可夫斯基的近似方法,以獲得愛因斯坦場方程的弱場解。書中探討了自引力物體的運動、引力波的物理以及輻射損失對引力系統的影響。最後簡要概述了替代引力理論。本書非常適合研究生的廣義相對論和相對論天體物理學課程,並檢視了現實生活中的應用,例如行星圍繞太陽的運動、雙脈衝星的計時以及雙黑洞發出的引力波。文本框探討相關主題並提供歷史背景,並且有超過100個練習題,對主文本中涵蓋的材料進行挑戰性的測試。
> 提供對牛頓引力的徹底覆蓋以及對廣義相對論的後牛頓和後閔可夫斯基近似的獨特處理
> 文字中增強了文本框,總結主要結果,探討相關主題,並提供歷史背景和觀點
> 每章結尾的有趣且具挑戰性的練習題幫助測試和發展讀者對材料的理解
