Lecture 13: Energy Generation and Transport in Stars
Update: 2006-01-23
Description
How do stars generate energy in their cores, and once made, how is
that energy transported to the surface where it can be radiated away
as Luminosity? This lecture revisits nuclear fusion and the Kelvin-Helmholz
Mechanism, and discusses the 3 ways energy can be transported in stars:
Radiation, Convection, and Conduction. This will lead us to the
concept of Thermal Equilibrium in stars, which is the last main piece
of stellar physics we need before we can address the question of how
stars are formed and evolve in the rest of this Unit.
Recorded 2006 January 23 in 1008 Evans Laboratory on the Columbus campus
of The Ohio State University.
