More About This Textbook

Overview

This timely volume presents the review articles from an international meeting in Elba, Italy, that discuss our understanding of how stellar evolution has advanced. Topics covered include fundamentals of stellar evolution, star clusters, variable stars, asymptotic giant branch stars, degenerate stars, the evolution of binary stars, and chemical and galactic evolution. Throughout, the volume compares theory and observation and emphasizes the critical role stars have on our understanding of how galaxies evolve.
