Lecture 23 — Helium Flash, LowMass Evolution, Close Binary
Evolution, Type Ia Supernovae,Massive Star Evolution
2
Turnoff In HR Diagram DeterminesAge
3
Helium Burning
4
Result of Helium Burning is bothCarbon and Oxygen
5
Pressure-Temperature Thermostat
Ordinary Pressure P ∝ ρTIf T rises, P rises, star expands, T fallsWith Quantum Mechanical Pressure P ∝ ργ
If T rises, P stays constant, nuclear reactionrates get bigger, T rises more, nuclearreaction rates get bigger, BOOM!!!!!

Stellar Evolution of Low andIntermediate Mass Stars I
Exhaust Hydrogen in CoreLeave the MSIgnite Hydrogen in ShellForm Red GiantBegin Helium Burning in Core (low massstars have helium flash)
