⭐My professor recommended this supplementary textbook for our junior/senior-level Astrophysics course (our main book is of course Carroll’s Introduction to Modern Astrophysics). Since there are no reviews, I feel obligated to give a little overview of this textbook. When I’m finished with my course, I will try to update this review with pros/cons.This textbook is an intermediate-level textbook for senior-level undergraduates. If you are a first-year graduate student, this textbook will also help bridge the gap between introductory astrophysics and advanced astrophysics. Something like Frank Shu’s Introduction to Astronomy would be considered an introductory-level textbook, so as you can see Bowers’ textbook more theoretical. Introductory knowledge of astronomy and physics is assumed. Strong mathematical knowledge, through differential equations, is a necessity.Here are the Table of Contents, as well as the starting page number so you can get a rough idea of the scale of the textbook:Volume I:Part 1: Introduction (1)Chapter 1: An Overview of Stellar Structure and Evolution (2)Chapter 2: Properties of Matter (16)Chapter 3: Aspects of Observations Astronomy (28)Part 2: Stellar Structure (53)Chapter 4: Static Stellar Structure (54)Chapter 5: Radiation and Energy Transport (65)Chapter 6: Atomic Properties of Matter (97)Part 3: Stellar Evolution (143)Chapter 7: Nuclear Energy Sources (144)Chapter 8: Introduction to Stellar Evolution (166)Chapter 9: The Main Sequence (175)Chapter 10: Evolution Away From The Main Sequence (185)Chapter 11: Deviations From Quasistatic Evolution (208)Chapter 12: Final Stages Of Stellar Evolution (229)Chapter 13: Weak Interactions In Stellar Evolution (239)Chapter 14: Degenerate Stars (252)Chapter 15: Supernovae (267)Chapter 16: Compact Stellar And Relativistic Objects (283)Chapter 17: Close Binary Systems (316)Volume II:Part 4: The Interstellar Medium (345)Chapter 18: Interstellar Medium (346)Chapter 19: Interstellar Dust Grains (370)Chapter 20: Gaseous Nebulae (382)Chapter 21: Hydrodynamics (400)Chapter 22: The Virial Theorem (409)Chapter 23: Star Formation (414)Chapter 24: Supersonic Flow and Shock Waves (432)Chapter 25: Diffuse Supernova Remnants (451)Part 5: Galaxies and The Universe (467)Chapter 26: The Expanding Universe (468)Chapter 27: Galaxies (489)Chapter 28: Dynamics of Stellar Systems (512)Chapter 29: Axially Symmetric Galaxies (532)Chapter 30: Spiral Structure (555)Chapter 31: Galactic Evolution (576)
