Foundations of Astrophysics provides a contemporary and complete introduction to astrophysics for astronomy and physics majors. Starting with the motions of the solar system and a discussion of the interaction of matter and light, the authors explore the physical nature of objects in the solar system, and the exciting new field of exoplanets. With a logical presentation and conceptual and quantitative end-of-chapter problems, the material is accessible to introductory astrophysics students taking a two-semester survey course.

The second half of their text covers stellar, galactic, and extragalactic astronomy, followed by a brief discussion of cosmology. It has introduced thousands of physical science students to the
