"An Introduction to Stellar Astrophysics" aspires to provide the
reader with an intermediate knowledge on stars whilst focusing
mostly on the explanation of the functioning of stars by using
basic physical concepts and observational results.
The book is divided into seven chapters, featuring both core and
optional content: Basic conceptsStellar FormationRadiative Transfer

skipped without interfering with the flow of the core content.
This book is designed to cover the most important aspects of
stellar astrophysics inside a one semester (or half-year) course
and as such is relevant for advanced undergraduate students
following a first course on stellar astrophysics, in physics or
astronomy programs. It will also serve as a basic reference for a
full-year course as well as for researchers working in related
fields.
