Thoroughly revised for its 2nd edition, this book presents state-of-the-art coverage of stellar physics, and interprets sophisticated current stellar models. A comprehensive view of the physics of the stellar interior and underlying processes and parameters. This long-awaited second edition of the classical textbook on Stellar Structure and Evolution by Kippenhahn and Weigert is a thoroughly revised version of the original text. 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. The 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 stars 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. 31.10.2012, PDF.

Stars are the fundamental observable constituents of the Universe. They are the first objects we see in the night sky, they dominate the light produced in our own and other galaxies, and nucleosynthesis in stars produces all the elements heavier than helium. A knowledge of stars and their evolution is vital to understand other astrophysical objects from accreting black holes and galaxies to the Universe itself. The structure of a star can be described mathematically by differential equations derived from the principles of hydrodynamics, electromagnetic theory, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, atomic and nuclear physics. The basic equations of a spherical star are derived in detail at an accessible level. The topics discussed include modes of energy transport, the equation of state, the physics of the opacity sources and the nuclear reactions. Attention is also given to the virial theorem, polytropic gas spheres and homology principles and the procedure for numerical solution of the equations is outlined. This book tracks the evolution of stars from their main-sequence evolution through the exhaustion of various nuclear fuels to the end points of evolution and also introduces the topic of interacting binary stars. The aim is to take the reader from the essential underlying physical principles to the doors to current research on stellar interiors. Contents: Observable Properties of Stars The Equations of Stellar Structure The Equation of State Heat Transport Stellar Atmospheres Energy Generation Stellar Models Stellar Evolution Binary Stars Readership: Final year undergraduates, first-year PhD students and post-doctoral researchers in the field of astrophysics or astronomy. Key Features: It is based on the stars lecture course given for Part III Maths at the University of Cambridge that has been running since the time of Fred Hoyle It describes the physics of stars from scratch with the necessary mathematics presented at a suitable level for undergraduate physicists and mathematicians It contains all the foundation knowledge required to understand the physics of stars at the forefront of research, Stars are the fundamental observable constituents of the Universe.
