... Stellar Evolution is driven entirely by the never ending battle between Pressure and Gravity . As imbalances are reached, the star is driven to find a new Energy source. ... Pressure and gravitational forces are equal, the star is stable and its core is sufficiently hot to fuse Hydrogen into Helium More about main sequence stars . ... The luminosity generated by the core fusion of Helium into Carbon is far greater than the shell luminosity associated with the fusion of Hydrogen into Helium. ...

Next: M.D. Smith, Research Astronomer Up: Research Previous: J.G. Doyle, Research Astronomer Contents . During the final stages in its life, a star is transformed in ways which remain poorly understood. ... Each transformation is a response to changes in chemical composition in the stellar interior as nuclear reactions convert one source of fuel into another. ... Consequently, the number of stars currently in these late stages of stellar evolution is comparatively small. ...

For Cycle 9 the Science Program Selection Office (SPSO) has changed the selection process to ensure that HST will continue to perform the best possible science with the best return for the astronomical community. This report summarizes the changes to the selection process and offers suggestions on writing an effective proposal that accounts for these changes. ... Fewer panels: With more orbits to allocate, each panel will have more flexibility, especially to approve the somewhat larger proposals. ...

Some astronomers ignore low-mass stars because they aren t very bright. However, stars with initial masses between about 0.8 Msun and 8 Msun (AGB stars) play an important role as the main site of the slow neutron capture (s-)process, which produces roughly half of the elements heavier than iron. ... From this work, we will see have a better understanding of AGB nucleosynthesis, the chemical evolution of globular clusters, and the properties of helium-rich stars. ...

This process is thought to occur in circumstellar disks of gas and dust around young stars on rather short timescales : infrared surveys show that the number of low mass stars with disks drops dramatically for stars older than 10 Myr, suggesting that in order to form large solids before the disk disperses, the growth process has to take place within a few million years. ...
