By Henny J.G.L.M. Lamers, Emily M. Levesque, Emily M Levesque

Understanding Stellar Evolution is based on a series of graduate-level courses taught at the University of Washington since 2004. It describes the structure and evolution of stars, with emphasis on the basic physical principles and the interplay between the different processes inside stars. Based on these principles, the evolution of low- and high-mass stars is explained from their formation to their death.
