Bodenheimer, Peter H.
Principles of star formation / Peter H. Bodenheimer. - New York : Springer, 2011. - xi, 343 p. : ill. (some col.) ; 24 cm. - Astronomy and astrophysics library 0941-7834. .
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Understanding star formation is one of the key fields in present-day astrophysics. This book treats a wide variety of the physical processes involved, as well as the main observational discoveries, with key points being discussed in detail. The current star formation in our galaxy is emphasized, because the most detailed observations are available for this case. The book presents a comparison of the various scenarios for star formation, discusses the basic physics underlying each one, and follows in detail the history of a star from its initial state in the interstellar gas to its becoming a c.
