《恒星结构与演化（第二版）(英文影印版)》详细地介绍了恒星的结构和演化理论。从恒星的组成成分讲起，讲解了恒星中的热核反应过程、热核反应之后的产物、超新星爆发等等一系列想象和理论。对于白矮星、中子星和黑洞也都做了详细介绍。本书适合天体物理方向的科研工作者和研究生阅读。
This long-awaited second edition of the classical textbook on Stellar Structure and Evolution by Kippenhahn and Weigert is a thoroughly revised version of the original text. Taking into account modern observational constraints as well as additional physical effects such as mass loss and diffusion, Achim Weiss and Rudolf Kippenhahn have succeeded in bringing the book up to the state-of-the-art with respect to both the presentation of stellar physics and the presentation and interpretation of current sophisticated stellar models. The well-received and proven pedagogical approach of the first edition has been retained.
The book provides a comprehensive treatment of the physics of the stellar interior and the underlying fundamental processes and parameters. The models developed to explain the stability, dynamics and evolution of the stars are presented and great care is taken to detail the various stages in a star’s life. Just as the first edition, which remained a standard work for more than 20 years after its first publication, the second edition will be of lasting value not only for students but also for active researchers in astronomy and astrophysics.
