An Introduction to the Study of Stellar Structure Long thought extinctIn this monograph a leading modern astrophysicist explores a problem basic to stellar dynamics: What is the relationship between loss of energy, mass, and radius of stars in the steady state? The monograph is divided into two distinct parts. In chapters i iv, Chandrasekhar presents the "classical" background necessary to his argument: the laws of thermodynamics (from Carathodory's rigorous axiomatic standpoint), adiabatic and polytropic laws, and the
