Short description
Evolution of Stars and Stellar Populations offers a comprehensive coverage of the links between the theory of stellar evolution and its applications to the study of stellar populations in galaxies. The book is unique in its approach as there are few if any other texts currently on the market that offer a self-contained text introducing the theory of stellar evolution first, followed by the related techniques that are widely applied by researchers in order to study stellar populations in galaxies. The presentation of stellar evolution theory is clearly presented with particular emphasis placed on the explanations of the photometric and chemical properties of stars along their evolution as a function of their initial mass and chemical composition.
