Stellar structure and evolution - OLD

This course allows the students to understand how a stellar model is built and how models compare with observations.The course also discusses the successes and the challenges of present-day modelling. It provides the knowledge for understanding the literature in this research area as well as the main problems that are presently addressed in this research area. 
- The mechanical and energetic equilibrium of stars (2h). 
- The Kelvin Helmholtz and dynamical timescales, the Virial theorem for stars (2h). 
- The sources of energy in stars (2h). 
- Adiabatic and non-adiabatic convection (2h). 
- Turbulence in radiative zones (4h). 
- Simple models of stars, polytropes and homology relations (4h). 
- An introduction to stellar evolution codes (4h). 
- Variability of stars (4h, Laurent Eyer). 
- Helioseismology and asteroseismology (4h, Patrick Eggenberger).
