Evolution of Peculiar Red Giant Stars: IAU Colloquium 106 (I A U COLLOQUIUM//PROCEEDINGS) - Hardcover
This report of the proceedings of the International Astronomical Union Colloquium 106 contains discussions on many aspects of Red Giant Stars. The book combines theory and observation to interpret these objects in terms of their evolutionary history. Red Giant Stars are evolutionarily advanced objects in the closing stages of their nuclear burning lifetime. Observed with increasing spectral coverage, they display a variety of unusual phenomena. Many are characterized by peculiar (non-solar) surface chemical compositions that provide otherwise unobtainable clues to interior nucleosynthesis, mixing and evolution. Others may have received their chemical peculiarities by mass transfer from a companion. There are 20 review papers, 69 abstracts and short contributed papers and a complete transcript of the valuable summary panel discussion. Professional astronomers and research students will find this a useful reference work.
