This textbook offers a modern approach to the physics of stars,
assuming only undergraduate-level preparation in mathematics and
physics, and minimal prior knowledge of astronomy. It starts with a
concise review of introductory concepts in astronomy, before
covering the nuclear processes and energy transport in stellar
interiors, and stellar evolution from star formation to the common
stellar endpoints as white dwarfs and neutron stars. In addition to
the standard material, the author also discusses more contemporary
topics that students will find engaging, such as neutrino
oscillations and the MSW resonance, supernovae, gamma-ray bursts,
advanced nucleosynthesis, neutron stars, black holes, cosmology,
and gravitational waves. With hundreds of worked examples,
explanatory boxes, and problems with solutions, this textbook
provides a solid foundation for learning either in a classroom
setting or through self-study.
