520 |a This textbook describes the equipment, observational techniques and analysis used in the investigation of stellar photospheres. Now in its fourth edition, the text has been thoroughly updated and revised to be more accessible to students. New figures have been added to illustrate key concepts, while diagrams have been redrawn and refreshed throughout. The first half of the book develops the tools of analysis and the second half demonstrates how they can be applied. Topics covered include radiation transfer, models of stellar photospheres, spectroscopic equipment, how to observe stellar spectra and techniques for measuring stellar temperatures, radii, surface gravities, chemical composition, velocity fields and rotation rates. Up-to-date results for real stars are included.
