Birth, Life and Death of Stars



Our sun is one of many billions of stars in the Milky Way galaxy and trillions throughout the universe. Stellar evolution has been studied intensely in astrophysics for a century since the realization that nuclear fusion was the main energy source powering stars. A vast amount of specialized knowledge has been developed, but the purpose of this course is to distill this information into essential aspects accessible to non-experts. Students will gain a greater appreciation of the wonderful complexity and beauty of our star-filled universe.
