  • This self-contained astrophysics textbook for advanced undergraduates explores how stars form, what happens to them as they age, and what becomes of them when they die, with particular emphasis on nucleosynthesis at different stages. It examines the relationship between different stages of stellar evolution and the production of the chemical elements.
