Course Type: Vorlesung
Requirements / organisational issues
In this course the students will learn the basics of stellar physics.In addition to regular lectures, several sessions of hand-on exercises will be planned.
At the end of the course students will be required to give a presentation on a selected topic of stellar physics.
Anwesenheitspflicht
The validation of the course credits requires regular partecipation to the hand-on exercises and to the final seminarsDigital teaching
The lectures will be primarily held in presence. All material will be provided in digital form under LMS. Depending on the future course of the covid infections and of the operation mode of the university some lecture might be given online.Recommended reading list
