Principles of Astrophysics Using Gravity and Stellar Physics to Explore the Cosmos /

This book gives a survey of astrophysics at the advanced undergraduate level. It originates from a two-semester course sequence at Rutgers University that is meant to appeal not only to astrophysics students but also more broadly to physics and engineering students. The organization is driven more b...
