Stellar Astrophysics contains a selection of high-quality papers that illustrate the progress made in research into the structure and evolution of stars. Senior undergraduates, graduates, and researchers can now be brought thoroughly up to date in this exciting and ever-developing branch of astronomy.
This book is designed to cover the most important aspects of stellar astrophysics inside a one semester (or half-year) course and as such is relevant for advanced undergraduate students following a first course on stellar astrophysics, in ...
Designed for the sophomore-level course in astrophysics for both astronomy and physics majors, Introduction to Modern Stellar Astrophysics, Second Edition specifically addresses the needs of courses that focus on stellar...
This book gives a survey of astrophysics at the advanced undergraduate level, providing a physics-centred analysis of a broad range of astronomical systems.
Since its publication, this textbook has come to be considered a classic by both readers and teachers in astrophysics. This study edition is intended for students in astronomy and physics alike.
That trees should have been cut down to provide paper for this book was an ecological afIront.
This book is the final one in a series of three texts which together provide a modern, complete and authoritative account of our present knowledge of the stars.

This book presents an up-to-date collection of reviews and contributed articles in the field of ultraviolet astronomy.
Donald D. Clayton's Principles of Stellar Evolution and Nucleosynthesis remains the standard work on the subject, a popular textbook for students in astronomy and astrophysics and a rich sourcebook for researchers.
The recent solar model of Schwarzschild, Howard, & Harm [71] contains an outer convection zone which extends inward only to a temperature close to 1 X 106 0K, which will destroy only deuterium. Hence it is evident that the solar ...
