Globular cluster dynamics, first formalized by Lyman Spitzer, remains a foundational topic in theoretical astrophysics, and this work offers a comprehensive treatment of the subject. The book aims to unify and systematically present the theory of globular cluster evolution while the Princeton Legacy Library seeks to broaden access to this scholarly heritage. The library accomplishes this by using.
One of the world's most distinguished astrophysicists presents a comprehensive theoretical treatment of the dynamical evolution of globular clusters. Lyman Spitzer's research in this field established the framework for decades of investigation. Now he summarizes in a unified, systematic way this branch of theoretical astrophysics with its still challenging problems.Originally published in 1988.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These paperback editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
