Stellar ages provide scientists with timescales, and these timescales allow us to identify the relevant physical processes responsible for the development of cosmic structures. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book describes in a simple, yet rigorous, manner the vast array of techniques that have been developed and are currently being used to determine the ages of stars. It also explores how stellar ages inform our knowledge about planets, star clusters, galaxies, even distant galaxies that we cannot resolve into individual stars. Up-to-date with the latest research and technologies in the field, it includes the cutting-edge methods being used based on asteroseismology and discusses open problems that remain to be pondered in future research.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt will be of interest to advanced undergraduates and graduate students studying astronomy, in addition to the general public.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey Features\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresents an entertaining and accessible approach whilst also providing a rigorous and comprehensive presentation of the subject \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescribes how to unveil the ages of stellar populations in distant galaxies that we cannot resolve into individual stars \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContains historical notes about these techniques, outstanding major problems, and a discussion on future developments in the field\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maurizio Salaris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367443996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367443993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/25\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.30w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2022","brand":"Maurizio Salaris","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43982473298175,"sku":"9780367443993","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c5be2e3b-1d51-4896-b785-4eac38cddcbb.jpg?v=1683261360","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/age-dating-stars-maurizio-salaris-9780367443993","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
