Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A compact yet comprehensive account concerned with how key aspects of stellar structure, evolution and nucleosynthesis can be understood in terms of basic physics. Begins with the most elementary factors and progresses to more advanced physical concepts. The author has been careful not to avoid more complex issues, instead carefully explaining each topic before it is applied. Provides a balanced treatment of fundamental physics and astrophysics and the relationship between them. Features an abundance of theoretical models, questions and hints for solution.
Bibliography: (pages 204-205) and index.
Basic concepts in astrophysics -- Properties of matter and radiation -- Heat transfer in stars -- Thermonuclear fusion in stars -- Stellar structure -- The end-points of stellar evolution.
