Course Description
This course is an introduction to stellar astronomy. We will study how stars work, what different life cycles stars can have, and how we measure and infer many things about stars from our tiny planet. Then we will extend this knowledge to star clusters and to galaxies, and to understanding how the cosmos is organized and where it is going.
Students will be evaluated on weekly contribution to discussions, reading assignments, homework, some activities and observations, weekly quizzes, a midterm and a final. Quizzes and homework can be resubmitted, and the midterm and final are open book, though they are timed.
