Abstract
FOR German readers this small volume affords an interesting and useful summary of the astrophysics of to-day. The introductory chapters deal with spectrum analysis in general, the solar spectrum and the spectroscope; the various conditions, e.g., pressure, radial motion and magnetic fields, which modify the radiation are briefly but sufficiently discussed.
