Against this background, compact stars, the theme of this volume, present unique astrophysical laboratories for probing the fabric of space-time and the building blocks of matter and their interactions at physical regimes not attainable in terrestrial laboratories.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46448030449815,"sku":"9789811220937","price":13154.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789811220937.webp?v=1769142522","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/astrophysics-in-the-xxi-century-with-compact-stars-9789811220937","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
