Présentation de l'éditeur

This timely volume reviews recent progress in our understanding of all aspects of stellar structure and evolution, with special emphasis on currently unsolved problems. It covers every stage in the life of a star, from birth to death, as well as the fundamental processes which affect stellar evolution. Each article is written by a leading world expert, based on presentations at an international conference held at the Space Telescope Science Institute. A complete understanding of stellar evolution is important in its own right, and also as a central piece in understanding how galaxies form and evolve. This volume presents the most comprehensive and up-to-date survey available of our current understanding of stellar structure and evolution. It provides an essential reference for researchers interested in stellar evolution and galaxy formation and evolution, and a valuable resource for graduate students seeking a state-of-the-art review of unsolved problems in this exciting area of research.
