This book was first published in 2007. Variable stars are those
that change brightness. Their variability may be due to geometric
processes such as rotation, or eclipse by a companion star, or
physical processes such as vibration, flares, or cataclysmic
explosions. In each case, variable stars provide unique information
about the properties of stars, and the processes that go on within
them. This book provides a concise overview of variable stars,
including a historical perspective, an introduction to stars in
general, the techniques for discovering and studying variable
stars, and a description of the main types of variable stars. It
ends with short reflections about the connection between the study
of variable stars, and research, education, amateur astronomy, and
public interest in astronomy. This book is intended for anyone with
some background knowledge of astronomy, but is especially suitable
for undergraduate students and experienced amateur astronomers who
can contribute to our understanding of these important stars.
