|
| Course contents : | Stellar global properties are presented and the equations governing their internal structure and their evolution are discussed.
A special emphasis is given to the nuclear rections, the equation of state and the opacity.
The different phases of stellar evolution are briefly described. |
|
| Course objective : | The aim is to know which physical processes are at work inside the stars and to establish links with different domains of physics. |
|
| Prerequisites : | Basic notions of fluid mechanics, spectroscopy, nuclear physics and statistical physics. |
|
| Organization : | Three hour sessions are organized during the second semester. The exam is a short presentation of a personal work on a topic discussed during the course and chosen by the student. |
|
| Written notes : | A syllabus is available. |
|
| Assessment : | Each student chooses a topic discussed during the course and presents it in about 20 minutes. The other parts of the course are subject to short additional questions. |
