Structure and Evolution of the Stars

Structure and Evolution of the Stars

Originally 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
