Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Our understanding of the 'hot' stars that form a halo around our galaxy is undergoing a renaissance: recent increases in the power of computers are now allowing a far more detailed and complete modelling of stellar evolution. A conference was held in Union College, New York, to gather experts in the field to re-examine the role of these hot stars and this volume draws together their articles to provide a timely review. These articles show how advances in computer power have, in particular, allowed complex modelling of the core helium-burning and ultraviolet-bright stages. They go on to demonstrate how this modelling is leading to a better understanding of new observations of stars on the horizontal branch, both in the field and in globular clusters, as well as stars in later stages of stellar evolution. Together these articles provide an up-to-date and comprehensive review for graduate students and researchers interested in the hot stars in the halo, especially the history of the halo and the evolution of old stellar populations of different metallicities.
