ASTR 306 Astrophysics

Delve deeper into stars and our own Milky Way While earlier astronomy classes are primarily qualitative in nature, here we will take a quantitative approach to learn more about the inner workings of stars. Topics include energy generation in stars, stellar structures, stellar evolution, white dwarfs, neutron stars, the interstellar medium and determining the structure of our Galaxy from within.
