The Physics of Stars 2e

by A.C. Phillips
The Physics of Stars 2e - Thryft
The Physics of Stars 2e - Thryft

Uncomplicated physics demystifying the stars.

The Physics of Stars is a great read for anyone interested in the basic physics of the stars. The book covers all the essential aspects of stellar properties in a concise and clear manner, making it easy to understand even for beginners. Its most unique feature is the simple theoretical models used to connect fundamental physics with stellar properties, making it an ideal choice for those looking for uncomplicated physics explanations. The numerous problems at the end of each chapter also make it a great textbook for students looking to expand their knowledge.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

There should be no water damage of any kind. For paperbacks, there may be several crease marks on the spine.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Description

The Physics of Stars, Second Edition, is a concise introduction to the properties of stellar interiors and consequently the structure and evolution of stars. Strongly emphasising the basic physics, simple and uncomplicated theoretical models are used to illustrate clearly the connections between fundamental physics and stellar properties. This text does not intend to be encyclopaedic, rather it tends to focus on the most interesting and important aspects of stellar structure, evolution and nucleosynthesis. In the Second Edition, a new chapter on Helioseismology has been added, along with a list of physical constants and extra student problems. There is also new material on the Hertztsprung-Russell diagram, as well as a general updating of the entire text. It includes numerous problems at the end of each chapter aimed at both testing and extending student's knowledge.
