Stellar Structure and Evolution
Abstrak
These lecture notes are intended for an advanced astrophysics course on Stellar Structure and Evolution given at Utrecht University (NS-AP434M). Their goal is to provide an overview of the physics of stellar interiors and its application to the theory of stellar structure and evolution, at a level appropriate for a third-year Bachelor student or beginning Master student in astronomy. To a large extent these notes draw on the classical textbook by Kippenhahn & Weigert (1990; see below), but leaving out unnecessary detail while incorporating recent astrophysical insights and up-to-date results. At the same time I have aimed to concentrate on physical insight rather than rigorous derivations, and to present the material in a logical order, following in part the very lucid but somewhat more basic textbook by Prialnik (2000). Finally, I have borrowed some ideas from the textbooks by Hansen, Kawaler & Trimble (2004), Salaris & Cassissi (2005) and the recent book by Maeder (2009). These lecture notes are evolving and I try to keep them up to date. If you find any errors or inconsistencies, I would be grateful if you could notify me by email ( O.R.Pols@uu.nl ).
