Stellar Astrophysics

Stellar astrophysics explores the life cycles of stars, from formation in molecular clouds to end states like white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes. It examines nuclear fusion processes powering stars, their chemical compositions, and luminosity variations. Key tools include spectroscopy and astrophysical models, helping understand stellar evolution, the role of stars in galaxy formation, and their influence on the cosmic environment.
