Crosslisting:
ASTR 531 |
Course Cluster: Planetary Science |
Most of the visible matter in the galaxy is in the form of stars. It is important, therefore, to understand their structure and their evolution. Fortunately, we have a fairly well-developed and tested theory of stellar structure covering both their interiors and atmospheres. In this course, we will provide an introduction to that theory and examine its key results, including a basic description of how stars evolve. |
Essential Capabilities:
Quantitative Reasoning, Writing Students will explore mathematical and physical models of the structure and evolution of stars. Paper assignments will help students develop technical writing skills.
