Stellar populations: a user guide from low to high redshift
Renzini, Alvio
Greggio, Laura
This only up-to-date reference on stellar populations and development models includes coverage of distant galaxies, chemical evolution and supernovae. Written by highly acclaimed authorities in the field, the text makes use of specific problems to reveal the "kitchen secrets". ÍNDICE: 0. Introduction 1.
