This is to understand how the concepts of statistical mechanics is applied in astrophysics.
Dear Yuvasri Gopinath ,
It depends on which subject of Astrophysics.
Let's say for neutrons starts you can follow on the chapter entitled "properties of matter at very high-density" chap XI. in the book:
Landau, L. D., & Lifshitz, E. M. 1980, Statistical Physics (Elsevier Ltd.)
For gas dynamics and fluctuations in interstellar media you can follow some classics:
1. Spitzer, L. 1962, Physics of Fully Ionized Gases (New York: Wiley)
2. Braginskii, S. I. 1965, RvPP, 1, 205
3. Parker, E. N. 1953, ApJ, 117, 431
Best Regards.
A few very useful references for better promoting your understanding development clearly are given below:
(1). Plasma Astrophysics: Kinetic Processes in Solar and Stellar Coronae (by Benz A. O.)
(2). Self-organized criticality in astrophysics (by Markus Aschwandan)
(3). Relativistic Kinetic Theory: With Applications in Astrophysics and Cosmology (by Gregory V. Vereshchagin, Alexey G. Aksenov); and so forth
A detailed list of classics in this specific direction may be provided later if needed
Hi,
I learned a lot of that relationship in:
https://www.amazon.com/Theoretical-Astrophysics-Astrophysical-Processes-Paperback-ebook/dp/B01N188RXH
there are several chapters where the it is clean and well explained.. so enjoy,
