John wiley & sons inc Introduction to stellar astrophysics (John Wiley & Sons Inc)

Fundamental to our understanding of the universe, stellar astrophysics deals with observations, theoretical understanding, classification, computer simulations and modeling of stars and their evolution. An Introduction to Stellar Astrophysics is a concise textbook containing core content on and detailed examples of stellar physics and stellar astronomy - stellar formation, radiative transfer, stellar atmospheres, stellar interiors, nucleosynthesis, stellar evolution, chemically peculiar stars, and diffusion. A list of problems completes each chapter, and optional content can be tailored to both the lecturer's wishes or the length of the course.
