Stellar Structure and Evolution (Astronomy and Astrophysics Library) 2nd Edition by Rudolf Kippenhahn (PDF)

Description

This long-awaited second edition of the classical textbook on Stellar Structure and Evolution by Kippenhahn and Weigert is a thoroughly revised version of the original text. Taking into account modern observational constraints as well as additional physical effects such as mass loss and diffusion, Achim Weiss and Rudolf Kippenhahn have succeeded in bringing the book up to the state-of-the-art with respect to both the presentation of stellar physics and the presentation and interpretation of current sophisticated stellar models. The well-received and proven pedagogical approach of the first edition has been retained.The book provides a comprehensive treatment of the physics of the stellar interior and the underlying fundamental processes and parameters. The models developed to explain the stability, dynamics and evolution of the stars are presented and great care is taken to detail the various stages in a star’s life. Just as the first edition, which remained a standard work for more than 20 years after its first publication, the second edition will be of lasting value not only for students but also for active researchers in astronomy and astrophysics.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Book was described as advertised and arrived within the estimated time.

⭐This edition is, in many ways superior to the first edition. However, the first, with its attention to computer modelling, helped to guide students through the tangle of the modelling process. It is also quite gratifying to see that the current version is far removed from any ‘cookbook-like’ features. It should jprove to be an invaluable tool to several generations of students.

⭐Great service, product was as advertised.

⭐It is a welcome 2nd edition.

⭐Wonderful book to understand about Stellar Evolution.

⭐Heavy…highly detailed with great depth of illumination.

⭐Great stuff , long awaited new edition

⭐Para mi, el mejor libro de evolución estelar. La edición actual, con la puesta al día de Achim Weiss, lo hace incluso mejor que el original.

⭐

⭐This books brings simple and good explanations for stellar structure. Ideal for an Stellar Astrophysics course.I strongly recommend it, specially if you will work with stellar populations.
