Literatur | (1) "Formation of stars" (S. Stahler and F. Palla - Wiley editions, this is the book on which about half of the classes will be based and photocopies will be organized during first lecture) (2) "Radiative processes in astrophysics" (R. Ribycki and A. Lightman) (3) "The Physics of Stars" (A.C. Philllips) (4) "Black Holes, White Dwarfs and Neutron Stars: The physics of compact objects" (S. Shapiro and S.A. Teukolski). Additionally PowerPoint slides will be prepared by the lecturer on these and extra topics (e.g. planet formation). | |||||
