Introduction to galaxy dynamics and stellar nucleosynthesis
We plan to offer an introductory course which covers two fundamental
topics in astrophysics: galaxy dynamics and stellar and cosmological
nucleosynthesis. The course is mainly addressed to people who did not
already study these arguments. The total course will be of about 40
hours: 20 for galaxy dynamics and 20 for nucleosynthesis. The course
will start around April 10 2016, with 4 hours per week.
The section of galaxy dynamics will be teach by prof. Bertin (full
professor at Milan University) with the following general program:
Examples of dynamical and dissipative instabilities in systems governed by rotation and gravity.
Examples of local and global solutions of the Vlasov-Poisson equations of astrophysical interest.
Examples of local and global stability in self-gravitating disks, in the context of dispersive waves, suggested by spiral galaxies and accretion disks.
Effects of weak collisionality in some stellar systems.
The section of nucleosynthesis will be teach by researchers of the
Physics Department in Pisa (Degl’Innocenti, Marcucci, Paolicchi, Prada
Moroni, Shore, Tognelli) with the following general program:
Nuclear reaction mechanisms in stars.
Main evolutionary characteristics and nucleosynthesis in the following
stellar evolutionary phases : Pre-Main Sequence (burning of light
elements), Main Sequence (hydrogen burning through proton-proton chain
and CN-N= by-cycle), Horizontal Branch and clump stars (He burning
reactions), asymptotic giant branch (neutron production chains and
proton and neutron capture processes on nuclei).
Essentials of cosmological nucleosynthesis.
