About This Item

London: Taylor and Francis, 1929/1930. First Edition. In 1929 and 1930, well before Chandrasekhar, Edmund Stoner (1899-1968) calculated the the relationship between the mass, radius, and density of white dwarf stars, leading to his prediction that the maximum mass of a white dwarf (now called the "Chandrasekhar limit") would be approximately 1.1 solar masses, beyond which it would collapse further. ix, 1216 pp. viii, 1208. 8vo. Uniform dark blue library bindings with gold embossed titling to spine. Clean and crisp within.
