Description for Linear Isentropic Oscillations of Stars
hardcover. This book surveys the theory of free, linear, isentropic oscillations in spherically symmetric, gaseous equilibrium stars, from basic concepts to asymptotic representations of normal modes and with slow period changes in rapidly evolving pulsating stars. Series: Astrophysics and Space Science Library. Num Pages: 487 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PHH. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 26. Weight in Grams: 889.
This monograph attempts to provide a systematic and consistent survey of the fundamentals of the theory of free, linear, isentropic oscillations in spherically symmetric, gaseous equilibrium stars, whose structure is affected neither by axial rotation, nor by the tidal action of a companion, nor by a magnetic eld. Three parts can be distinguished. The rst part, consisting of Chaps.1-8, covers the basic concepts and equations, the distinction between spheroidal and toroidal normal modes, the solution of Poisson's differential equation for the perturbation of the gravitational potential, and Hamilton's variational principle. The second part, consisting of Chaps.9-13,is devotedto the possible existenceof ... Read more
