Book on Star classifications

[gurney]

I was browsing amazon the other day and I came across a book which simply had chapters on each class of star. Each chapter covered 1 star classification (eg - Class O, Class B, Class A, etc).

Trouble is I can't for the life of me remember what it was called or anything - just that it looked really good and I'd like to order a copy.

anyone have a clue which book I'm talking about?

Ta! :withstupid:

Hee hee

I was going to suggest it was that book, I have it, its a great introduction and insight to the world of spectra.

I have a load of other books, os if you suffer memory loss again I may know the answer.

I would recommend Cosmology by Michael Rowan Robinson if you want an easy breakdown of all the major astronomical factors

Many thanks,

I'm fairly well stocked too - having a degree in Astrophysics from many moons ago. But i wanted something specifically on spectra.

Ta!

The book arrived today!

A bit of light bedtime reading then... just in time for a conference I've got to go on next week!
