Prerequisites
PHYSI 003 and MATH 039 are prerequisites for all upper-division physics courses.

A study of the internal constitution of stars and stellar systems from the point of view of atomic and nuclear physics. The basic equations of Saha and Boltzman are used to solve the appearance of observed stellar spectra and the differential equations of continuity and state to interpret the physical properties of stellar structures.
