This  was the first time that experts had gathered to debate and discuss  topics such as: Should black holes exist? If so, how to detect them?  Have we found them? This book is the essence of this gathering. \u003cbr\u003e  Black holes are enigmatic objects since it is impossible to locate  them through direct observations. State-of-the-art theoretical works  and numerical simulations have given us enough clues of what to look  for. Observations, from both ground and space-based missions, have  been able to find these tell-tale signatures. This book is a  compendium of our present knowledge about these theories and  observations. Combined, they give a thorough idea of whether black  holes, galactic as well as extragalactic, have been detected or not.  Forty-one experts of the subject have contributed to this volume to  make it the most comprehensive to date.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-11-09\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401059954\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-4750-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 399\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358896025740,"sku":"9789401059954","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401059954.jpg?v=1776428299","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789401059954","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
