Synopsis:
These are proceedings of the 9th Pacific Rim Conference on Stellar Astrophysics (PRCSA2011) organized by Yunnan Astronomical Observatory (YNAO). The main purpose of this conference series is to accelerate the development of astronomy in many countries in the Asian region by promoting the interaction between astrophysicists in Eastern Pacific Rim countries and their colleagues around the world.
The conference was focused on the Star Formation, Stellar Evolution, Supper Massive to Very Low Mass Stars and Brown Dwarfs, Variables, Binary and Multiple Star Systems, Galaxies, Star Clusters and Planets, Cataclysmic Variables, Novae outburst and Supernovae, Neutron Stars and Black Holes.
This book is of interest for researchers in stellar astrophysics. It presents an overview of the relevant results and the progress made in the field in the recent years.
