The evolution of stars with various masses
Cibulková, Helena ; Brož, Miroslav (advisor) ; Zasche, Petr (referee)
In the present work we study changes of the structure of a star that occur during stellar evolution and the dependence of these changes on the initial mass of the star. Internal changes affect also characteristics of the star which are observable from the outside like the effective tempe- rature or luminosity. At first we briefly derive basic equations of the stellar structure which describe the most important processes inside the star. We assume the star is nonrotating and spherically symmetric. For a detailed description of the stellar evolution, we plot individual quantities for different initial masses (from 0,1 to 100 M⊙). We use the program EZ2 for numerical calculations which enables to model the stellar evolution as long as the condition of the hydrostatistic equilib- rium is satisfied. Finally, we use the theory of the stellar evolution to determine the ages of two open clusters NGC 188 and M 45 using the method of isochrones. Keywords: stellar evolution, Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, equations of stellar structure, pro- gram EZ2 1
