Magnetohydrodynamics of Rotating Black Holes,mics. Such magnetohydrodynamic flows near rapidly rotating compact objects must include the relativistic effects of the underlying metric. Of special importance are supermassive black holes in the centers of galaxies. The evidence for the existence of these objects is shortly discussed. The basic fe

Relativistic Radiation Hydrodynamics and Shocks in Gamma-Ray Bursts,formulations, in which dissipative shocks are thought to produce the nonthermal spectra observed. We discuss the main results obtained from analytic approximations, as well as the questions of radiative efficiency, spectrum formation, and the late evolution of impulsive or wind flows leading to gamm

The Fate of Stars in the Vicinity of Supermassive Black Holes,t could yield unique observational signatures. Of particular interest are ultraclose passages of stars by massive black holes. These encounters could not only unveil general relativistic effects but also provide favorable conditions for the detonation of the star. This article presents a general rev

Newtonian and Post-Newtonian Calculations of Coalescing Compact Binaries,ilt as part of LIGO, VIRGO and GEO. Post-Newtonian (PN) approximation methods have been used to calculate waveform templates in the low-frequency, slow-inspiral phase of the binary evolution. These theoretical templates can be used to extract parameters such as the neutron star (NS) masses and spins

A General Relativistic Approach to Neutron Star Binary Evolution,ike the other lectures in this volume, this contribution contains no results, only plans and motivation for work to be done! This project is just beginning, and its impact will be felt only after a couple of years of effort. My goal here is to outline plans to build on present approaches, including
