Theory of Rotating Stars. (PSA-1), Volume 1 / / Jean-Louis Tassoul.
Ever since the first observations of sunspots in the early seventeenth century, stellar rotation has been a major topic in astronomy and astrophysics. Jean-Louis Tassoul synthesizes a large number of theoretical investigations on rotating stars. Drawing upon his own research, Professor Tassoul also...
