Stars and Stellar Evolution / / Klaas de Boer, Wilhelm Seggewiss.
The diverse forms that stars assume in the course of their lives can all be derived from the initial conditions : the mass and the original chemical composition. In this textbook Stars and Stellar Evolution the basic concepts of stellar structure and the main roads of stellar evolution are described...
