The study of astronomical objects through the analysis of characteristics like luminosity, density, chemical composition and temperature, by employing principles of physics and chemistry, falls under the domain of astrophysics. It also aims to understand and explain blackhole dynamics and dark matter phenomenology. Modern astrophysics implements a multidisciplinary approach by incorporating principles of varied areas of physics such as electromagnetism, thermodynamics, nuclear and particle physics. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to astrophysics. It strives to provide a fair idea about this discipline and to help develop a better understanding of the latest advances in this field. This book is a complete source of knowledge on the present status of this important discipline.
