Stellar Physics and General Relativity
Astronomische NachrichtenABSTRACTThe general theory of relativity is currently established as the most precise theory of gravity supported by observations, and its application is diverse ranging from astronomy to cosmology, while its application to astrophysics has been restricted only to compact stars due to the assumption that the Newtonian approximation is sufficient for ...

Blue supergiants as tests for stellar physics [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2021 Context. Massive star evolution is still poorly understood, and observational tests are required to discriminate between different implementations of physical phenomena in stellar evolution codes. Aims. By confronting stellar evolution models with observed properties of blue supergiants, such as pulsations, the chemical composition, and position in the

Clusters: Age Scales for Stellar Physics [PDF]
EAS Publications Series, 2016 Ages are key to truly understand a large plethora of astrophysical phenomena. On the other hand, stellar clusters are open windows to understand stellar evolution, specifically, the change with time and mass of different stellar properties. As such, they are our laboratories where different theories can be tested, but without accurate ages, our ...

Stellar test of the physics of unification [PDF]
Physical Review D, 2012 We discuss the feasibility of using solar-type main-sequence stars as probes of fundamental physics and unification. We use a simple polytropic stellar structure model and study its sensitivity to variations of the gravitational, strong and electroweak coupling constants in the context of unification scenarios.

Stellar evolution and the Standard Solar Model [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2020 This contribution is meant as a very brief introduction to the principal concepts of stellar physics. First the main physical processes active in stellar structures will be shortly described, then the most important features during the stellar life-cycle
