Stars and Stellar Evolution

Description

The topic of the book touches on the questions “From where did the Sun come?” and “What will be its fate?”. Yet, the Sun plays only a minor role in this text (except that its mass, size, and luminosity are the basis for the stellar units).

The emphasis is on all stars with all their evolutionary phases. The text does not aim to explain all the intricate physics for and in stars. Most of the standard physics is included, of course; for details of aspects not treated in depth, references to other texts are provided. But essential mechanisms are addressed. Nor does the text pretend to be a full review of the literature. But it gives the reference background as well as access to the specialized literature on the various topics. What has been attempted is to give a description for most (but not all) of the phases of evolution possible in their context, illustrated by numerous forms of the “Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram”. The text thus rather aims at all those, the general astronomer and the observer alike, who need to understand where an encountered star can be placed in the vast parameterspace of stellar evolutionary states.
