This 1994 volume draws together the proceedings of a conference held in Union College, New York, which gathered experts on 'hot stars'. The result is an intriguing of study of these stars, that comprise a halo around our Galaxy and similar stars in other galaxies - essential reading for graduate students and researchers.
The stars that form a halo around our Galaxy are intriguing; they have abundances of elements that suggest they are old. The properties of these 'hot stars' and similar stars in other galaxies chal... MORE
