Abstract
THE great problem of the evolution of the stars may be attacked along two main lines. We may study the properties of the stars themselves, as revealed by observation, and find orderly sequences among them; or we may analyse, on general physical principles, the constitution of a mass of gravitating matter, and the probable sequence of its changes.
