  1. 1 Time: AM
  2. 2 A Journey through the Universe
  3. 3 What are the stars? Lecture-03
  4. 4 Stars as globes of perfect gas
  5. 5 Gravitational Force
  6. 6 Hydrostatic Equilibrium
  7. 7 Boyle's Law
  8. 8 Equation of Hydrostatic Equilibrium
  9. 9 What are the stars?
  10. 10 Eddington's theory of stars
  11. 11 Radiation Pressure

  13. 13 The interior of the Sun
  14. 14 Mass - Luminosity relation
  15. 15 Mass - Luminosity relation calculated by Eddington
  16. 16 Luminosity of a star depends only on its mass!
  17. 17 Why are the stars as they are?
  18. 18 To Eddington this 'agreement' was most annoying! "What business have they on a curve reserved for a perfect gas?", he exclaimed.
  19. 19 "Our mistake was that in estimating the congestion in the stellar ball-room we had forgotten that crinolines are no longer infashion" - Eddington
  20. 20 Eddington was obscure about two things:
  21. 21 The Bohr radius
  22. 22 Lifetime of stars

  28. 28 Mass Deficit
  29. 29 Proton - proton collision
  30. 30 Maxwell-Boltzmann Distribution
  31. 31 Alpha decay of radioactive nuclei
  32. 32 Quantum Tunnelling
  33. 33 Energy production in the Sun
  34. 34 Why doesn't the Sun blow up?
  35. 35 The Safety Valve
  36. 36 Nuclear cycles
  37. 37 To burn or not to burn? That is the question
