This textbook explores approximate solutions to general relativity and their consequences. Beginning with a uniquely thorough treatment of Newtonian gravity, the book develops post-Newtonian and post-Minkowskian approximation methods to obtain weak-field solutions to the Einstein field equations. It offers a unique presentation of Einstein's theory by developing powerful methods that can be applied to astrophysical systems.
It concludes with a brief overview of alternative theories of gravity. The book explores the motion of self-gravitating bodies, the physics of gravitational waves, and the impact of radiative losses on gravitating systems. Ideal for graduate courses on general relativity and relativistic astrophysics, the book examines real-life applications, such as planetary motion around the Sun, the timing of binary pulsars, and gravitational waves emitted by binary black holes.
