... 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. ...

Chiaki Kobayashi, Ralph Sutherland How galaxies did form and evolution? - to answer this unsolved problem, we are simulating the formation and evolutionary history of galaxies in the Universe, including star formation, supernovae feedback, and chemical enrichment. Comparing the spacial distribution of elements within galaxies with observations, we will examine fundamental physical processes that drive galaxy formation. ...

... The department was founded in late sixties by Prof. D.Ya.Martynov, who for many years was also the director of Sternberg Astronomical Institute. At present time, the head of the department is Prof. A.M.Cherepashchuk, a pupil of D.Ya.Martynov and his successor as the director of SAI. Since Prof. Martynov, the scientific activity of the department was primarily related to binary stars. ... The department consists of 15 members most of which have Ph.D. in Astrophysics. ...

... As you may know, I'm writing a book for Prentice-Hall, due in January, called Peer Instruction for Astronomy. ... I'm looking for a colleague or two willing to review/critique some of the ConcepTest questions that will be included in the book. See http://hea-www.harvard.edu/~pgreen/educ/ConcepTests.html I suspect that a significant contribution would only take you 2-3 hours. ... ConcepTests are multiple choice questions which the students pose to each other in small groups, during class. ...

... Searches for Star Formation in Damped Systems . ... The objective was to measure the star-formation rates in these systems. However, no H emission was detected above our limits of Wm -2 , corresponding to star formation rates ( q 0 =0.5). ... For q 0 =0.5 our limits are in conflict with the star formation rates predicted under the assumption that the high- z DLAs are the fully-formed galactic-disk counterparts of today's massive spiral galaxies. ...
