Polytropes, Virial theorem, evolutionary time scales, degrees of freedom, radiative transport, molecular weight, degeneracy, Jeans mass, and Eddington luminosity are basic ingredients to describe the physics of stars.

Population Synthesis to Constrain Galactic and Stellar Physics - I. Determining Age and Mass of Thin-Disc Red-Giant Stars [PDF]
Context. The cornerstone mission of the European Space Agency, Gaia , together with forthcoming complementary surveys (CoRoT, Kepler , K2, APOGEE, and Gaia -ESO), will revolutionize our understanding of the formation and history of our Galaxy, providing ...

Chemical element transport in stellar evolution models [PDF]
Stellar evolution computations provide the foundation of several methods applied to study the evolutionary properties of stars and stellar populations, both Galactic and extragalactic.

Blue supergiants as tests for stellar physics [PDF]
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.

Evidence for spots on hot stars suggests major revision of stellar physics [PDF]
It has long been thought that starspots are not present in the A and B stars because magnetic fields cannot be generated in stars with radiative envelopes. Space observations show that a considerable fraction of these stars varies in light with periods

Role of stellar physics in regulating the critical steps for life [PDF]
We use the critical step model to study the major transitions in evolution on Earth. We find that a total of five steps represents the most plausible estimate, in agreement with previous studies, and use the fossil record to identify the potential ...
