Learning physics from the stars: It's all in the coefficients

摘要

2.1 Overview and basic discussion of equations of stellar structure This section is intended merely as a reminder of things you have already learned (or will soon learn) in a first course in stellar structure and evolution. Here, we will introduce, and in some cases derive, the four basic equations of stellar structure. If you would like additional details, by all means consult one of the standard texts in this subject - I recommend without hesitation the text by Hansen et al. (2004).
