SPRINGER PRAXIS BOOKS INTRODUCTION TO STELLAR...

This book provides a comprehensive overview of stellar structure  evolution and basic stellar
properties. It includes integrated problems within the chapters  with worked solutions. In the
first part of this book  the author presents the basic properties of the stellar interior and
describes them thoroughly  along with deriving the main stellar structure equations of
temperature  density  pressure and luminosity  among others. The process and application of
solving these equations is explained  as well as linking these results with actual
observations. The second part of the text describes what happens to a star over time and how to
determine this by solving the same equations at different points during a star's lifetime. The
fate of various stars is quite different depending on their masses and this is described in the
final parts of the book. This text can be used for an upper level undergraduate course or an
introductory graduate course on stellar physics.
