Black Body in Motion Books: Find & Learn Relativity

Hello!
I am looking for books about black body in motion but i can't find any in Google. So, does anyone know something about it and let me know? Just even the address of where i can find it is enough.
Actually, the black body that i know is the one which absorbs all incident light (emissivity = 1). I learned this in quantum mechanics. And now i want to know how relativity deals with it and especially when the Black body is in motion.
Please help!

HELLO!
Have not seen anything like that in recent popular books by Hawking, Susskind, Smolin, Greene, Randall, Ferreira, Seife, Kaku, Steinhardt & Turok, Bergmann.

My first thought was "maybe doppler shifting takes care of it" ...but that was quickly shot down:
To calculate the spectrum of a moving black body, then, it seems straightforward to simply apply this formula to each frequency of the blackbody spectrum. However, simply scaling each frequency like this is not enough...

Check it out for a start.

And it may be other sections of that article has a reference of interest to you.

I'm a bit puzzled by your answer and wonder if you understand your own posts.

In https://www.physicsforums.com/showpost.php?p=2294495&postcount=7", you cited something that clearly stated that ".. stars and black holes are also black bodies..."

Yet, when the OP asked for "black body in motion", you didn't cite such examples and in fact stated that you've never seen anything like that <scratching head>. Stars ARE in motion across our sky. If they can be considered as black bodies, then they ARE "black bodies in motion", are they not?

that's right stars can be considered as black body in motion. thanks a lot for your help!
 

Thread 'Describing the Big Bang'

I started reading a National Geographic article related to the Big Bang. It starts these statements: Gazing up at the stars at night, it’s easy to imagine that space goes on forever. But cosmologists know that the universe actually has limits. First, their best models indicate that space and time had a beginning, a subatomic point called a singularity. This point of intense heat and density rapidly ballooned outward. My first reaction was that this is a layman's approximation to...

Thread 'Dirac's integral for the energy-momentum of the gravitational field'

Thread 'Dirac's integral for the energy-momentum of the gravitational field'

See Dirac's brief treatment of the energy-momentum pseudo-tensor in the attached picture. Dirac is presumably integrating eq. (31.2) over the 4D "hypercylinder" defined by ##T_1 \le x^0 \le T_2## and ##\mathbf{|x|} \le R##, where ##R## is sufficiently large to include all the matter-energy fields in the system. Then \begin{align} 0 &= \int_V \left[ ({t_\mu}^\nu + T_\mu^\nu)\sqrt{-g}\, \right]_{,\nu} d^4 x = \int_{\partial V} ({t_\mu}^\nu + T_\mu^\nu)\sqrt{-g} \, dS_\nu \nonumber\\ &= \left(...

Thread 'A sufficient condition for integrability of equation ##\nabla g=0##'

In Philippe G. Ciarlet's book 'An introduction to differential geometry', He gives the integrability conditions of the differential equations like this: $$ \partial_{i} F_{lj}=L^p_{ij} F_{lp},\,\,\,F_{ij}(x_0)=F^0_{ij}. $$ The integrability conditions for the existence of a global solution ##F_{lj}## is: $$ R^i_{jkl}\equiv\partial_k L^i_{jl}-\partial_l L^i_{jk}+L^h_{jl} L^i_{hk}-L^h_{jk} L^i_{hl}=0 $$ Then from the equation: $$\nabla_b e_a= \Gamma^c_{ab} e_c$$ Using cartesian basis ## e_I...
