After successful completion of the course, students are able to provide a qualitative and quantitative description of the development of stars and galaxies as well as an explanation of the dominant processes of nucleosynthesis.

1. Introduction, 2. Nuclear physics basis, 3. Structure of the universe, 4. The early universe, 5. Nucleosynthesis, 6. Evolution of stars, 7. Thermonuclear Reactions, 8. Determination of reaction rates

The course gives in a series of weekly lectures an introduction into the field of Nuclear Astrophysics. Starting from the basic knowledge of physics the evolution of the universe, the development and properties of stars and the most important processes of nucleosynthesis are presented and explained.

The lectures are scheduled each Wednesday from 16:15 to 17:45. The course starts on Wednesday, 7.10.2020.
