Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Since shortly after the Big Bang only H, He, and a few lighter elements were produced, the further production of heavier elements in the stellar interior is responsible for the present-day element abundances. By means of stellar evolutionary models the nucleosynthesis of elements can be understood. Their release by various stellar mass-loss processes enrich the interstellar medium in its gas phases differently by these elements. The timescales and quantities of element enrichment and gasdynamical influences as well determine element abundances and abundance ratios, which can both be observed in stars of different ages e.g. in the Milky Way and nearby galaxies. With dynamical models only chemical signatures can provide a detailed insight into galaxy evolution.

Assessment and permitted materials

Selected topics from the literature on nucleosynthesis, stellar mass loss, and galaxy evolution will be prepared by the students and presented to the participants.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Continuous attendance, one presentation at least, and lively participation.
