Physik der Sternatmosphären

Abstract

IT is clearly recognized how closely the rapid progress in astrophysics has been linked up with the advancement of physics since the beginning of this century. Taking into account the fundamental theoretical work of Schwarzschild, it would appear that astrophysics became a 'quantitative science' only during the past thirty years. The new problems arising during this period have resulted in an extensive literature, the material of which has been partly collected in voluminous handbooks. But what was badly needed at the present stage (especially for those who wanted to enter the new fields of research, and found themselves confronted with this mass of material), was a critical and, so far as possible, systematic study of the subject.
