Using fundamental physics, the theory of stellar structure and evolution can predict how stars are born, how their complex internal structure changes, what nuclear fuel they burn, and their ultimate fate. It uniquely emphasizes the basic physical principles governing stellar structure and evolution. This textbook is a stimulating introduction for undergraduates in astronomy, physics and applied mathematics, taking a course on the physics of stars.
Clear and methodical, it explains the processes in simple terms, while maintaining mathematical rigor. This second edition contains two new chapters on mass loss from stars and interacting binary stars, and new exercises. Starting from general principles, this textbook leads students step-by-step to a global, comprehensive understanding of the subject.
Fifty exercises and full solutions allow students to test their understanding. No prior
