Exotic Stars as Challenges to Evolution: an Evaluation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
A star is exotic because, in some way, it extends our knowledge of how stars behave. As we make new observations we discover new phenomena that we do not understand. As we approach an understanding, those phenomena seem less exotic. That is nature. IAU Colloquium 187 set out to discover how far our knowledge of stars now reaches. This is a personal commentary on the proceedings.
