Mass Balance of Interstellar Gas and Stars

  • Chapter
Interstellar Gas Dynamics

Part of the book series: International Astronomical Union/Union Astronomique Internationale ((IAUS,volume 39))

Abstract

In this paper I will deal almost exclusively with the interchange of matter between the interstellar gas and the stars. Other possible forms of interchange, such as mass-loss to and accretion from intergalactic matter e.g., Oort’s (1969) views on mass flowing into our Galaxy, will be discussed later I hope.

Dr. L. Mestel read this paper for Dr. Salpeter who, for personal reasons, could not be present.
