For a master's student in physics, I'd recommend a good GR textbook. Gravitation is pretty famous for being a great one:Lilian Sa said:Summary:: good sources of black holes
hey
Im new here, I am a masters degree student.
I woud ask about any good source for understanding black hole for a master's degree student.
thanks
thank you :)kimbyd said:For a master's student in physics, I'd recommend a good GR textbook. Gravitation is pretty famous for being a great one:

A black hole is a region of space with a gravitational pull so strong that nothing, including light, can escape from it. It is created when a massive star dies and its core collapses under its own weight.
We cannot directly observe black holes as they do not emit light. Instead, we detect them by observing their effects on the surrounding matter and light. For example, we can detect X-rays emitted by matter as it falls into a black hole.
Some reliable sources include scientific journals, reputable websites of space agencies such as NASA and ESA, and books written by experts in the field.
The current theories about black holes include Einstein's theory of general relativity, which describes how gravity works, and quantum mechanics, which deals with the behavior of particles at a subatomic level. However, there is still much we do not know about black holes and their behavior.
Once something crosses the event horizon (the point of no return) of a black hole, it cannot escape. However, some theoretical models suggest that information may be able to escape through a process called Hawking radiation, but this has not been observed or proven yet.
