Relativistic Astrophysics

Relativistic astrophysics explores cosmic phenomena where gravity and velocity approach the speed of light. Key topics include black holes, where intense gravity warps spacetime, and neutron stars, which are super-dense remnants of stellar explosions. The study also covers gravitational waves, ripples in spacetime from massive collisions, and the impact of relativity on light and time. This field deepens our understanding of the universe's extreme environments.
