Compiled by a team of experts, this textbook introduces the
properties and evolution of the most immediately visible objects in
the Universe - stars. Designed for elementary university courses in
astronomy and astrophysics, it starts with a detailed discussion of
our nearest star, the Sun, and describes how solar physicists have
come to understand its internal workings. It then considers how we
study the basic physical properties and life-cycles of more distant
stars, culminating with a discussion of more 'exotic' objects, such
as neutron stars and black holes. This second edition has a greater
emphasis on the physical and spectral properties of stars,
introducing stellar atmospheres, spectral line formation and the
role of binary stars in the formation of compact objects. Avoiding
complex mathematics, and generously illustrated in colour
throughout, this accessible text is ideal for self-study and will
appeal to both amateur astronomers and undergraduate students.
