The publication of The Internal Constitution of the Stars by Arthur Eddington in 1926 was a major landmark in the development of modern theoretical astrophysics. Not only did Eddington effectively create the discipline of the structure, constitution, and the evolution of the stars, but he also recognised and established the basic elements of our present understanding of the subject. The influence of the book is indicated by the remark by H. N. Russell in 1945: 'This volume has every claim to be regarded as a masterpiece of the first rank'.

Review

'If you are interested in historical excursion and don't mind a little physics and calculus, Internal Constitution will be well worth your effort, due to Eddington's eloquent and flowing style.' American Association of Variable Star Observers

5.0 out of 5 stars This book invented Astrophysics
Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2020
Verified Purchase
The language used by Eddington is powerful. He leaves off the conjecture as it were, to determine what would happen to a white dwarf's fate (the neutron was not discovered at that point, nor was the Pauli principle), and settles the star's demise from a classical viewpoint. The young Chandrasekhar (of the limit fame) cited this work as a major influence, as did Henry Norris Russell (of the HR diagram fame). Either way, this book is the first theoretical work on Astrophysics that put the subject of Astrophysics in a modern setting on par with other natural sciences. It is sort of like the Principia in those terms. No one uses the principia to understand mechanics but one might use this work to understand where and how stellar structure got its firm footing. The idea of radiation pressure took its stage in this book as the means of attaining stellar equilibrium
