My book, Lectures on Spectral-Line Analysis: F, G, and K Stars, is a graduate-student level monograph dealing with the analysis of stellar spectra.

Topics include:

    -Major line broadeners

    -Fourier analysis of line profiles

    -Stellar turbulence

    -Stellar granulation

    -Stellar rotation

    -Magnetic activity

    -Stellar surface features

Published in 1988, the ideas and concepts remain valuable for scientific investigation.
