Dannaya kniga yavlyaetsya dopolnennym i pererabotannym izdaniem predydushchey knigi avtora "Izbrannye metody yadernoy astrofiziki". V ney privodyatsya prostye, no effektivnye metody rascheta yadernykh kharakteristik termoyadernykh reaktsiy. Poluchennye rezul'taty neposredstvenno primenimy k resheniyu nekotorykh zadach yadernoy astrofiziki v oblasti opisaniya termoyadernykh protsessov na Solntse, zvezdakh i Vselennoy. Pervaya glava soderzhit opisanie obshchikh metodov rascheta osnovnykh yadernykh kharakteristik dlya svyazannykh sostoyaniy i kontinuuma yadernykh chastits. Vtoraya metodam poiska faz rasseyaniya, komp'yuternym programmam i rezul'tatam fazovogo analiza uprugogo rasseyaniya nekotorykh yadernykh sistem pri nizkikh energiyakh. V tret'ey glave privodyatsya rezul'taty, poluchennye na osnove trekhtel'nykh modeley otdel'nykh legkikh atomnykh yader, kotorye ispol'zuetsya dlya proverki, opredelyaemykh na osnove faz uprugogo rasseyaniya mezhklasternykh potentsialov. V chetvertoy rassmatrivayutsya protsessy radiatsionnogo zakhvata neytronov pri astrofizicheskikh i nizkikh energiyakh na nekotorykh legkikh atomnykh yadrakh. I v pyatoy glave prodolzheno rassmotrenie protsessov radiatsionnogo zakhvata neytronov i protonov pri astrofizicheskikh energiyakh na legkikh yadrakh.
