Nuclear Physics of Stars, Revised and Enlarged Edition

Nuclear Physics of Stars, Revised and Enlarged Edition, 2nd Edition, explores the production of nuclear energy and the synthesis of chemical elements in stars. Written by Christian Iliadis, the textbook presents nuclear astrophysics as a coherent discipline connecting nuclear processes with astronomical environments.

The volume examines nuclear structure and reactions, thermonuclear reaction rates, experimental methods, and stellar nucleosynthesis. It also covers astrophysical foundations, including the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, single-star stellar evolution, and binary star systems.

Designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate students as well as researchers in nuclear astrophysics, the text includes worked examples and end-of-chapter exercises to support learning and reference.
