One of the world's most distinguished astrophysicists presents a comprehensive theoretical treatment of the dynamical evolution of globular clusters. Lyman Spitzer's research in this field established the framework for decades of investigation. Now he summarizes in a unified, systematic way this branch of theoretical astrophysics with its still challenging problems.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: New. First Paperback Edition. Unused pristine copy bound in illustrated, laminated stiff paper wraps. One of the world's most distinguished astrophysicists presents a comprehensive theoretical treatment of the dynamic evolution of globular clusters. These clusters, of which there are typically 100 per galaxy, each containing some 100,000 stars, evolve slowly and their cores gradually collapse as a result of gravitational encounters between pairs of stars. Lyman Spitzer's research in this field established the framework for decades of investigation. Now he summarizes in a unified, systematic way this branch of theoretical astrophysics with its still challenging problems. 180 pages with an index and list of symbols. Seller Inventory # 0691084602
