In published papers H A Bethe and G E Brown worked out the collapse
of large stars and supernova explosions. They went on to evolve
binaries of compact stars, finding that in the standard scenario
the first formed neutron star always went into a black hole in
common envelope evolution. C-H Lee joined them in the study of
black hole binaries and gamma ray bursts. They found the black
holes to be the fossils of the gamma ray bursts. From their
properties they could reconstruct features of the burst and of the
accompanying hypernova explosions.
This invaluable book contains 23 papers on astrophysics, chiefly
on compact objects, written over 23 years. The papers are
accompanied by illuminating commentary. In addition there is an
appendix on kaon condensation which the editors believe to be
relevant to the equation of state in neutron stars, and to explain
why black holes are formed at relatively low masses.
