Publisher's Synopsis
A Study of Beta Cephei is a book written by Clifford Charles Cook Crump and originally published in 1916. This book is a detailed study of the star Beta Cephei, which is a variable star that exhibits periodic changes in brightness. Crump's study focuses on the physical characteristics of the star, including its mass, radius, and temperature, as well as its pulsations and the effects of these pulsations on its brightness. The book also includes a discussion of the methods used to study Beta Cephei, including spectroscopy and photometry. This book is an important contribution to the field of astronomy and remains a valuable resource for those interested in studying variable stars and stellar astrophysics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
