Welcome to the Stars and Stellar Evolution Computing Exercises
These exercises form a critical component of the Stars and Stellar Evolution course (astro811). You will have the opportunity to simulate your own stars using the state of the art stellar evolution package Window To The Stars.
The classes have now finished! Thank you to all attendees, good luck with your exams and see you in the Summer term.
Previous attendees say the following:
All in all we gained deeper insight into stars. Furthermore, we realized that WTTS is a really mighty instrument which is able to plot more then we ever thought. And most importantly, we had much fun.
The course was a lot of fun although it was very hard to get up so early every Friday :D We learned to interprate diagrammes which is very useful for any type of scientist, and are now able to use the programme Window to the Stars in a useful way.
This whole labcourse helped me very much with understanding the principles of stellar evolution. I, myself, am a visual person, learning by seeing. Therefore the diagrammes and plots produced in this class helped me very much to understand the internals and relativeness of various quantities in stars. I often wonder what would change in value X when I change value Y ? ... Window to the Stars gave me the possibility to actually test that!
Place: CIP pool room, AIfA Time: Friday mornings, 8.45-9.45am, starting 8th November 2012, ending 25th January 2013. Class Assistant: Sutirtha Sengupta with much help from Fabian Schneider.
