Active galaxies are among the most exciting and challenging phenomena in modern astronomical research, encompassing a wide range of extreme physical conditions. Understanding the energy source and physical processes within active galaxies are the…

Using fundamental physics, the theory of stellar structure and evolution can predict how stars are born, how their complex internal structure changes, what nuclear fuel they burn, and their ultimate fate. This textbook is a stimulating…

This upper-division textbook describes the composition and evolution of material objects in the universe. The survey begins with a discussion of terrestrial materials and ends with the composition of quasars and distant galaxies. There are two main…

Topics include: the tools of astronomy, the nature of stars, and galaxies and the universe. Textbook

Radio astronomy uses unique observational techniques and offers the only way to investigate many phenomena in the Universe. This book, by two founders of the field, presents both a clear introduction to radio telescopes and techniques and a broad…

Guiding the reader through all the stages that lead to the formation of a star such as our Sun, this advanced textbook provides students with a complete overview of star formation. It examines the underlying physical processes that govern the…

Introduces the physics behind single and binary stellar evolution, assuming no prior knowledge of astronomy Focuses on the evolution of stars to the end point of white dwarf, neutron star, and black hole binary systems Fills the niche between…

Rigorous examination of relationship between loss of energy, mass and radius of stars in a steady state. Unabridged, corrected republication of original (1939) edition. "The material is throughout presented with enviable crispness and clarity of…
