Description for The Influence Of Binaries On Stellar Pop
Hardback. This volume reviews observations of non-evolved and evolved binary populations in clusters and the field with special emphasis on statistical biases, incompleteness and distribution functions. It includes highlights of the possible effects of binaries on galactic chemical evolution. Editor(s): Vanbeveren, Dany. Series: Astrophysics and Space Science Library. Num Pages: 602 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PGM; PHVB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 33. Weight in Grams: 1023.
A star in a binary may interact with its companion and this complicates significantly its structure and evolution. During several decades in the past many astronomers hoped that the number of binaries is small. This is sometimes reflected in theoretical studies dealing with large populations of stars where it is ASSUMED (without any justification) that binaries do not alter the results. The number of confirmed binaries increases as observations improve and we there fore thought that the time was right to organize a meeting where the main topic would be the effect of binaries on stellar population studies.

Reviews for The Influence Of Binaries On Stellar Pop
`This book is definitely one that I would recommend for libraries to purchase. Researchers from many fields will have occasion to read the reviews and will be well rewarded.' The Observatory, 122/1168 (2002)
