Astronomy - Life and Death of a Low Mass Star

Explore the fascinating journey of low mass stars in this comprehensive astronomy lecture series. Delve into the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, gravitational collapse, proto-star formation, and the Hayashi track. Discover the intricacies of main sequence stars, sub-giants, red giants, and the helium flash. Examine the formation of planetary nebulae and white dwarfs, and learn about the conditions that lead to nova events. Gain a deep understanding of stellar evolution through detailed explanations of each stage in a low mass star's life cycle, from birth to death.
