Black holes : proceedings of the Space Telescope Science Institute Symposium, held in Baltimore, Maryland, April 23-26, 2007 /
Black holes, once considered to be of purely theoretical interest, play an important role in observational astronomy and a range of astrophysical phenomena. This volume is based on a meeting held at the Space Telescope Science Institute, which explored the many aspects of black hole astrophysics. Wr...
