Lecture Description
This lecture provides an introduction to the physics of stellar structure, including energy balance and energy transport within stellar interiors. The laws of mechanics and thermodynamics are applied using stellar models as illustrative examples. Observable relationships are explained through clear and intuitive examples.
The lecture is primarily intended for major and minor Physics students in their fourth semester. It is compulsory for students enrolled in the Bachelor’s program "Physics with Specialization Astronomy" or for those completing a 30 ECTS "Minor Astronomy" at Bachelor level. In cases of uncertainty, students are advised to clarify in advance whether the course can be credited toward their degree requirements.
