This course is given by Raffaella Schneider and it is a compulsory course for the master degree in Astronomy and Astrophysics of the University of Rome “La Sapienza”.
It is usually held from late February to the mid of June.
The course aims to describe the structure and evolution of stars in the more general context of galaxy evolution. At the end of the course, students will gain a deep knowledge of the physical processes that regulate the structure and evolution of stars of different mass, from the pre-main sequence phase to the final evolutionary phases. In the second part of the course we will introduce fundamental elements of the physics of the interstellar medium to understand the star formation process and its consequences on the evolution of galaxies.
