Astrophysical black holes
arXiv:1807.06014 · doi:10.1142/9789813227958_0001
Abstract
In this chapter, we introduce the concept of a black hole (BH) and recount the initial theoretical predictions. We then review the possible types of BHs in nature, from primordial, to stellar-mass, to supermassive BHs. Finally, we focus on the latter category and on their intricate relation with their host galaxies.
