Description: Includes the Hard Disc. Has some highlighting throughout the book. The cover has some minor shelf wear. The binding is tight. The pages are crisp. Will be shipped carefully and quickly. This text, designed for beginning students of stellar physics, introduces the fundamentals of stellar structure and evolution. 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. Topics include nuclear physics and stellar energy sources, the equation of state of stellar material, phenomenological approaches to convection, and modern numerical techniques for computation of stellar evolution. Keeping pace with recent developments, the authors incorporate important elements such as asteroseismology, and the effects of rotation and magnetic fields. The text contains the source code for two useful programs, ZAMS (for constructing chemically homogeneous zero-age main sequence models) and PULS (to study the seismological properties of the ZAMS models). Some chapters include exercises. The diskette can be used on any computer with a FORTRAN compiler. Dive into the cosmos with "Stellar Interiors: Physical Principles, Structure and Evolution," a comprehensive textbook by Steven D. Kawaler and Carl J. Hansen. This authoritative source, part of the Astronomy and Astrophysics Library series, is a must-have for students and researchers alike, exploring the fascinating world of stellar physics with rigor and detail. The book spans across various disciplines including Physics, Geophysics, Astrophysics, and Astronomy, offering a broad understanding of the subject area. With its substantial content of xiii, 445 pages, encompassing the latest knowledge up to 1999, this mixed lot format presents an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to deepen their expertise in stellar interiors.
