About this title

Review

From the reviews of the first edition: "The author includes detailed discussions of the final stages of stellar evolution [. . .] He also offers in-depth results from Soviet and Russian research. Bisnovatyi-Kogan's discussion of astrophysicists' inability to produce supernova models that account for basic observations nicely summarizes the state of the art. The book's tables present many detailed results that can help validate current research models for situations in which the basic input physics - such as radiative opacities and nuclear energy generation - has not changed very much [. . .] I heartily recommend the book for researchers in the field." (Robert Deupree, PHYSICS TODAY, Feb. 2003) "There is a lot of useful material gathered into one volume, and it should certainly be available for reference on all library shelves." (Leon Mestel, The Observatory, Vol. 122 (1169), 2002)
