The stars that form a halo around our Galaxy are intriguing; they
have abundances of elements that suggest they are old. The
properties of these 'hot stars' and similar stars in other galaxies
challenge the well-established theory of stellar evolution in many
ways. Studying the collective properties of these stars provides
important input to many areas of astrophysics - including the
formation of our Galaxy, stellar evolution and the stellar
populations of other galaxies. The study of hot stars in the halo
of our Galaxy is undergoing an exciting renaissance owing to
important new observations with the Hubble Space Telescope and
ASTRO1 and to techniques recently developed for ground-based
observations. Advances in computers have also recently led to a far
more detailed and complete theoretical understanding of stellar
evolution. This volume, first published in 1994, draws together the
proceedings of a conference held in Union College, New York, which
gathered experts in the field in question.
