About this ebook
With the development of nuclear physics the theory of the stellar interior entered a new phase. Many new investigations have been conducted and the results published in a variety of specialized media. This book brings these results together in a single volume and summarizes the present status of the theory of stellar evolution.
Originally published in 1958.

Reviews for Structure and Evolution of Stars
7 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Originally published in 1958, this was a ground breaking work in the field. Topics covered are the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, basic physical processes, mathmatic fundamentals of the theory of stellar structure, hydrostatic and thermal equilibrium, radiative and convective energy transport. Although some information in this book has been made obselete, it still stands as the backbone of the theory and gives valuable insights into how the modern theories evolved.
