[Mesa-users] Grad stellar structure & evolution course

[Matt Wood]

Hi, All:

I’ll be teaching a graduate stellar structure and evolution course in the spring 2018 term.  When I taught this last many years ago I used Hansen, Kawaler, and Trimble, which I do like quite a bit.

Before I tell the bookstore to stock those, however, I thought it would be useful to get input from the experts on this list.  What book would you recommend?

And since I’m planning on having students learn MESA basics during the course as well, it occurred to me that it would *wonderful* if some in the MESA team actually wrote a book on stellar evolution using MESA for a grad textbook (I know - very heavy lift with little reward on the back end).

This may be off-topic for this list, and I apologize if that’s the case - feel free to email me off-list with your suggestions.

Best regards, and thank you,
Matt
