Three eminent scientists, each well known for the clarity of their
writing, present for students and researchers what is known about the
internal structure, origin and evolution of White Dwarfs, Neutron Stars
and Black Holes, all objects at the final stage of stellar evolution.
They cover fascinating topics such as pulsation of white dwarfs,
millisecond pulsars or the dynamics around black holes. The book is
written for graduate students in astrophysics, but is also of interest
to professional astronomers and physicists.
