In emphasizing the general picture of the life cycles of stars and the physics responsible, it also allows prospective specialists a taste of many of the detailed aspects of this mature discipline. The authors develop a solid foundation in important theory that is often overlooked in typical courses yet steer clear of extraneous intensive mathematics and physics.\u003cbr\u003eTopics include: \u003cbr\u003e*The life stories of stars explained by observation and theory\u003cbr\u003e*Equations of state of stellar material\u003cbr\u003e*Basic radiative transfer and stellar spectra\u003cbr\u003e*Stellar energy sources and nucleosynthesis\u003cbr\u003e*Phenomenological approaches to convection\u003cbr\u003e*Numerical techniques for computation of stellar evolution\u003cbr\u003eKeeping pace with recent developments, the authors incorporate important elements such as asteroseismology, and the effects of rotation and magnetic fields.\u003cbr\u003eThis edition contains an extensive set of exercises that supplement and expand on the text.\u003cbr\u003eAbout the authors: \u003cbr\u003eCarl Hansen is Professor Emeritus of Astrophysical and Planetary Sciences, and Fellow Adjoint of JILA, at the University of Colorado, Boulder.\u003cbr\u003eSteve Kawaler is Professor of Astrophysics at Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa.\u003cbr\u003eVirginia Trimble is Professor of Physics at the University of California, Irvine, and Visiting Professor of Astronomy at the University of Maryland, College Park.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45277003546775,"sku":"9781461264972","price":6177.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781461264972.webp?v=1769287225","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/stellar-interiors-physical-principles-structure-and-evolution-9781461264972","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
