Synopsis

The study of variable stars is extremely important in astronomy, since the category covers many different types associated with critical stages in stellar evolution. The information gained from variable stars has, therefore, many applications in astronomy. This book provides the amateur and research astronomer with statistical evidence of research into variable stars to date and detailed characteristics of individual stars. Together these will enable anyone interested in planning a thorough programme of observations to test out the many theoretical conjectures about the most exciting variable stars such as red giants, white dwarfs, neutron stars or black holes.
