Theoretical Astrophysics: Physics of Sun and Stars

New: The course is starting on Tuesday, 16/04! 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This course will cover the physical concepts of stellar structure - going from the core where the energy is generated, to the outermost layers (atmospheres) where that same energy is being radiated away and ultimately captured by our telescopes. We will also study the Sun, as a special case of star that can be observed with a very high spatial and temporal resolution and thus help us understand how stars in general function.
