General relativity and sources of gravitational waves
General relativity is essential for understanding some of the most fascinating astronomical objects and processes:
- Black holes
- Neutron stars
- Gravitational lensing
- Cosmology
- Gravitational radiation
- Black hole collisions
- Compact binaries
- The Big Bang
- Primordial gravitational waves
The IMPRS will provide students with a broad background education in general relativity and lead them into detailed studies of various kinds of gravitational wave sources.
