Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Stellar Structure (Hydrostatics, energetics and timescales, equation of state, Energy
transport, Nuclear reactions)
Stellar Evolution (basic equations, Evolution before and during the main sequence, The Helium burning phase, Advanced evolution of low- and intermediate-mass stars, Pre-supernova evolution of massive stars, Supernova explosions)
Population Synthesis (From (L;Teff ) to magnitudes and colors, From evolutionary tracks to isochrones, From isochrones to star clusters, From star clusters to resolved galaxies,
Modeling a galaxy (the Milky Way) from the inside, How to consider binaries?, How to treat circumstellar dust and ionized gas?, Integrated spectra, Stochastic and surface brightness fluctuations, CMD- and spectra-reconstruction techniques)

Assessment and permitted materials

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

(1)Present/repeat the basics of stellar structure and evolution and
(2)apply these to the synthesis of stellar populations: what determines the observed star counts as a function of magnitude and wavelength? How to model it? How to extract information from the model-data comparisons?
