Sinossi

Assesses the quality, accuracy, and prospects for improving the observational data and theoretical models of the outstanding problems in stellar astrophysics, and the feasibility of achieving the observational and theoretical advances required to solve them. The 59 papers cover an introductory overview, stellar distances, angular diameters and radii, flux distributions, masses and surface gravities, the effective temperature scale, abundances, atmospheres, oscillations and pulsations, models versus observations, interiors, evolved stars, chemical evolution, stellar ages, and a summary of achievements and prospects. Includes brief comments on the papers, and an index of objects as well as of subjects and authors. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
