Physics of dense matter explores the behavior of matter under extreme conditions, such as those found in the cores of neutron stars or during heavy-ion collisions. This fascinating field delves into the fundamental forces that govern highly compressed states, often involving quantum chromodynamics and high-pressure physics, to understand the properties of compact objects in the universe.

This comprehensive book explores the fundamental principles of Special and General Relativity, demonstrating their crucial applications to the most extreme phenomena in astrophysics. Readers will gain a deep understanding of the physics governing White Dwarfs, Neutron Stars, and Black Holes, and how these cosmic objects are shaped by the laws of relativity.
