Synopsis

Excerpt from The Study of Stellar Evolution: An Account of Some Recent Methods of Astrophysical Research

The interest Of the student of astrophysics is m confined simply to celestial phenomena. For astn has become, in its most modern aspect, almost an mental science, in which some Of the fundamental I of physics and chemistry may find their solution. 'i may be regarded as enormous crucibles, in some c terrestrial elements are subjected to temperatures a sures far transcending those obtainable by artificia In the Sun, which appears to us not merely as a light like the stars, but as a vast globe whose eve1 can be studied in its relationship to the general prc the solar constitution, the immense scale of the phe always open to observation, the rapidity of the chan theenormous masses of material involved, provide th for researches which could never be undertaken in te laboratories. Hence it is that astrophysics may equa be regarded as a branch of physics or as a branch of omy. A telescope may be defined as an instruu revealing celestial phenomena, or it may be,likene< lens which the physicist uses in his laboratory to con the light Of an electric spark on the slit Of his spect To the student of astrophysics whose interests are 1 fined to a single branch of science, the subject is 1 make a double appeal, no less strong on the phys chemical than on the astronomical side.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the evolution of the stars, positioned within the broader context of the ongoing search for humanity's place in the universe. The author, starting from the foundation of astrophysics, delves into the chemical composition of stars, the evolution of celestial objects visible in the night sky, and the life cycles of nebulas and stars, drawing connections between celestial phenomena and familiar life on Earth. By defining the very subject of stellar evolution, the author examines the cyclical processes of stellar life, tracing the journeys of stars from cosmic birth to stellar demise. The book concludes that the stars that host the conditions for life are not the exception, but rather the norm in the universe. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
