Variable Stars and How to Observe Them

by Arne E. Henden

Nothing demonstrates the dynamic nature of our universe more than variable stars. They vary in brightness, either in a periodic fashion or in an irregular pattern. This book looks at the physics - the different types or variable star (and the reasons for the variability) - and considers the different forms in detail.
