Graduate Class in stellar astronomy. The first ~40% of the course will deal with understanding the equations of stellar structure and all the physics that is applicable to stars. The second ~40% of the class uses our knowledge of stellar structure to investigate stellar evolution, from the main sequence to white dwarfs and supernovae. The remainder of the class will be devoted to special topics, such as binary star evolution, asteroseismology, and other current problems in stellar astronomy.
