Obiettivi: Detailed knowledge of the physical mechnisms and of the conservation equations of stellar interiors. Knowledge of the input physics (opacità, equativo of state, cross section, nuclear reaction rates) used to compute stellar models. Basic knowledge of star formation. Detailed knowledge of the Hayashi track, central hydrogen burning and main sequence. Detailed knowledge of the central helium burning phases, horizontal branch and blue loops.
