Lecture 17: The Evolution of High-Mass Stars
Update: 2006-01-27
Description
What happens when a high-mass (more than 4 solar masses) Main Sequence
stars runs out of Hydrogen in its core. At first the internal evolution
looks like that of a low-mass star, but now we get first a Red Supergiant
then a sucession of blue and red supergiant phases as different nuclear
fuels are tapped by the star for its energy. This lecture describes
the evolution of high-mass stars from the Main Sequence until their
eventual ends.
