Thanks for all the help!
Suppose I have a lot of thinking to do between now and then! I think everything I wanted to know has been answered!
Thank you!
Thanks for the help, can I clarify a few things?
At the end of my 4 year course I will have a Masters, will this cut down the length of the PhD, 6 - 7 years seems like quite a while?
Will funding include any accommodation and living costs and how would you go about getting the funding, is it...
Hi, I am currently finishing my third year of a four year Astrophysics degree at The University of Liverpool. I hope to go on and start a PhD the year after I finish my degree. I hope to finish with a high 2.1 or possibly a first.
I am considering looking to study in the US, I wanted to ask a...
Partly, mainly just for clarification, its not a question I am just doing some revision, didn't think it was suitable for the homework section. Any help?
When I say CNO cycle I just mean the type of Hydrogen burning, depending on the stage of evolution and the mass of the star Hydrogen either burns via the pp chain or CNO cycle.
There are three dredge ups, the first and second happen once mixing more central shells to out layers. The third drege...
1. The chemical compasition doesn't effect the mass of the star, and I am not sure what you mean by red giant behavior, I was just giving an example of a stage of evolution where chemical compasition effects the stars evolution.
2. I don't know if describing them as dampeners would be correct...
Hey,
Basically features of the HR diagram change due to different initial chemical compasition of the star.
For example on the RGB if the star's initial chemical compasition has increased Helium abundences (Y) the RGB will have hotter Teff, and if the initial chemical compasition has...
Thanks again, I will head up to the Library and check them out.
It isn't my first module its my 3rd Quantum module however the first to deal with the real maths behind quantum mechanics and looking at Dirac Notation!
Hi,
Just revising for my Advanced Stellar Evolution exam, was wondering if anyone knew if there was a good detailed Colour Magnitude (HR) diagram on the internet which went into some detail of different Stellar Mass' and Chemical Compasitions (so more like a poster than a HR diagram)!
If...
Thanks guys, I will look into them, I am really struggling coming to grips with the notation explained in the lectures, prehaps a different explanation will help!
Ok, so I am a third year astrophysics student.
Half way into first semester and everything is good apart from Quantum Mechanics! with help I can do questions and I am understanding it but everytime I get a new question I find it really hard.
The reccomended text is "Quantum Mechanics" by...
