Stellar Structure and Evolution - Links and Online References
This page contains links to sites relevant to my stellar structure and
evolution course.
First, here is a very useful online astrophysics handbook
and here are some places to lookup constants:
Observational Properties of Stars
A brief discussion of
spectral classification of stars together with postscript figures
comparing the visible spectra of stars of a range of spectral types.
Here are the data
files used to construct the figures.
The Global Oscillations
Network Group, GONG are studying the internal structure of the Sun
using helio-seismology
to study its oscillations.
The HIPPARCOS
mission was a satellite to measure accurate positions and hence
distances for over 1,000,000 nearby stars. This is the HR diagram derived from the Hippparcos
observations.
Stellar Evolution
NASA's
Observatorium has popular level presentations on
Stellar Structure
An excellent tour
of the Sun
Nuclear Energy Generation
A very good tour
of nucleosynthesis in stars from a site at Oxford.
A brief review of nucleosynthesis
which includes some dicussion of cosmological nucleosynthesis.
