Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This volume explains the microscopic physics operating in stars in advanced stages of their evolution and describes with many numerical examples and illustrations how they respond to this microphysics. Models of low and intermediate mass are evolved through the core helium-burning phase, the asymptotic giant branch phase (alternating shell hydrogen and helium burning) and through the final cooling white dwarf phase. A massive model is carried from the core helium-burning phase through core and shell carbon-burning phases. Gravothermal responses to nuclear reaction-induced transformations and energy loss from the surface are described in detail. Written for senior graduate students and researchers who have mastered the principles of stellar evolution, as developed in the first volume of Stellar Evolution Physics, sufficient attention is paid to how numerical solutions are obtained to enable the reader to engage in model construction on a professional level. This text explains the microscopic physics operating in stars in advanced stages of their evolution, using numerical examples and illustrations to demonstrate how they respond. The volume allows senior graduate students and researchers who have mastered the principles of stellar evolution to engage in model construction on a professional level.

1st Edition. FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL WRAPS OF A LENGTHY PAPER ASSESSING THE â??FORTY YEARS OF PROGRESS' SINCE THE RELEASE OF BURBIDGE(S), FOWLER, & HOYLE'S SEMINAL 1957 PAPER "SYNTHESIS OF THE ELEMENTS IN STARS". Fifteen scientists contributed to the paper. First published in 1957 paper, Margaret Burbidge, Geoffrey Burbidge, and William Fowler's seminal paper "Synthesis of the Elements in Stars" "describes hydrogen and helium are formed in the interior of stars" (Daintith, Oxford Dictionary of Scientists, 268). The paper, widely considered "one of the most authoritative and comprehensive works of modern science" is so famous that it is commonly referred to simply as B2FH after the initials of its authors (ibid). B2FH is credited with originating what is now known as the theory of stellar nucleosynthesis. An often quoted statement of Carl Sagan, "We are all star stuff," is simply his paraphrase of this review paper's thesis (ibid). B2FH predicted the chemical evolution of the universe testable through stellar spectral line emulsions, using this to illustrate the possibility that all heavy earth elements in face originate from the furnace-like cores of nearby extinct solar phenomena. "Forty years ago Burbidge, Burbidge, Fowler, and Hoyle combined what we would now call fragmentary evidence from nuclear physics, stellar evolution and the abundances of elements and isotopes in the solar system as well as a few stars into a synthesis of remarkable ingenuity. Their review provided a foundation for forty years of research in all of the aspects of low energy nuclear experiments and theory, stellar modeling over a wide range of mass and composition, and abundance studies of many hundreds of stars, many of which have shown distinct evidence of the processes suggested by BFH. In this review we summarize progress in each of these fields with emphasis on the most recent developments" (Abstract, RMP, 69, 4, October 1957, p. 995). The following scientists contributed to the paper: George Wallerstein, Icko Iben, , Jr., Peter Parker, Ann Merchant Boesgaard, Gerald M. Hale, Arthur E. Champagne, Charles A. Barnes, Franz Käppeler, Verne V. Smith, Robert D. Hoffman, Frank X. Timmes, Chris Sneden, Richard N. Boyd, Bradley S. Meyer, and David L. Lambert.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This text describes the microscopic physics operating in stars and demonstrates how stars respond from formation, through hydrogen-burning phases, up to the onset of helium burning. Intended for beginning graduate students and senior undergraduates with a solid background in physics, it illustrates the intricate interplay between the microscopic physical processes and the stars' macroscopic responses. The volume starts with the gravitationally contracting phase which carries the star from formation to the core hydrogen-burning main sequence, through the main sequence phase, through shell hydrogen-burning phases as a red giant, up to the onset of core helium burning. Particular emphasis is placed on describing the gravothermal responses of stars to nuclear transformations in the interior and energy loss from the surface, responses which express the very essence of stellar evolution. The volume is replete with many illustrations and detailed numerical solutions to prepare the reader to program and calculate evolutionary models.
