General Relativity 4 - The Life Story of Stars Speaker(s): Michael Burns
Abstract: The mathematical predictions made by scientists tell a story of the life and death of stars.
Learning Outcomes: • How the Hertzsprung-Russel diagram describes the life cycle of stars. • Depending on its mass, how a star ends its life as a white dwarf star, a neutron star, or a black hole, and where super novas fit in. • How the mathematical predictions of white dwarf stars, super novas, and neutron stars are slowly verified by the advancement of the astronomical equipment used by astronomers.
