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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rudolf Kippenhahn, Alfred Weigert, Achim Weiss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3642302556\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783642302558\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/30\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 604\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 1.60d","brand":"Rudolf Kippenhahn","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43983469215999,"sku":"9783642302558","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_44a03dac-48db-4f9d-93ad-409feb6bf32d.jpg?v=1683266831","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stellar-structure-and-evolution-rudolf-kippenhahn-9783642302558","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
