CourseDetails
โข Introduction to Stellar Evolution: Overview of stellar evolution, including the life cycle of stars and the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram.
โข Stellar Structure and Stability: Examination of the internal structure of stars, hydrostatic equilibrium, and the role of radiation and convection in stellar stability.
โข Nuclear Fusion and Energy Production: Study of nuclear fusion processes in stellar cores, energy transport, and the relationship between stellar mass and luminosity.
โข Low-Mass Star Evolution: Evolution of low-mass stars (up to approximately 8 solar masses), including the red giant and horizontal branch phases.
โข Intermediate-Mass Star Evolution: Evolution of intermediate-mass stars (8-10 solar masses), including the asymptotic giant branch and super-asymptotic giant branch phases.
โข High-Mass Star Evolution: Evolution of high-mass stars (over 10 solar masses), including the blue supergiant, Wolf-Rayet, and luminous blue variable stages.
โข Supernovae and Stellar Remnants: Examination of supernova mechanisms, types, and stellar remnants, such as neutron stars and black holes.
โข Nucleosynthesis and Cosmic Abundances: Study of nucleosynthesis processes in stars, the creation of elements, and the impact on cosmic abundances.
