Welcome to the Starburst and Galaxy Evolution website.

... 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. ...

To investigate the late stages of stellar evolution and in particular the role of stellar mass-loss in the evolution of asymptotic giant branch stars, proto-planetary nebulae and extremely massive stars. ...

The project of the informational system creation on the problem of evolution of radio galaxies, as a part of the "Big Trio" project aimed on studing of distant radio galaxies, is designed. This system allows a user to operate with simulated curves of spectral energy distributions (SED) to estimate ages and redshifts by photometry data. Authors use SEDs of several models for different types of galaxies. ... The HTTP and e-mail access is organized to this system. ...

Stars form from interstellar clouds rich in hydrogen....they shine for billions of years, gradually converting hydrogen into helium....when hydrogen is exhausted, they need to find other energy sources....they expand to become giants and supergiants....low-mass stars expel planetary nebulae and become white dwarfs....high-mass stars explode as supernovae, leaving a neutron star or black hole behind. ... What can they tell us about normal stellar evolution ? ... WWW contact: webmaster@star.arm.ac.uk . ...
