Although specialized references come mainly from American journals, references to reviews and books are also included to help guide the reader to other sources.

LANG Department of Physics, Tufts University Medford, Massachusetts January, 1980 Preface This book is meant to be a reference source for the fundamental formulae of astrophysics. Wherever possible, the original source of the material being pre­ sented is referenced, together with references to more recent modifications and applications. More accessible reprints and translations of the early papers are also referenced. In this way the reader is provided with the often ignored his­ torical context together with an orientation to the more recent literature
