Evolution of Stars and Stellar Populations is a comprehensive
presentation of the theory of stellar evolution and its application
to the study of stellar populations in galaxies. Taking a unique
approach to the subject, this self-contained text introduces first
the theory of stellar evolution in a clear and accessible manner,
with particular emphasis placed on explaining the evolution with
time of observable stellar properties, such as luminosities and
surface chemical abundances. This is followed by a detailed
presentation and discussion of a broad range of related techniques,
that are widely applied by researchers in the field to investigate
the formation and evolution of galaxies.
This book will be invaluable for undergraduates and graduate
students in astronomy and astrophysics, and will also be of
interest to researchers working in the field of Galactic,
extragalactic astronomy and cosmology.
* comprehensive presentation of stellar evolution theory
* introduces the concept of stellar population and describes
"stellar population synthesis" methods to study ages and star
formation histories of star clusters and galaxies.
