[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css_animation=”none”]Stellar evolution is the most important aspect of astrophysical processes ranging from protostar to white dwarf\/Neutron Star\/Black Hole. Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA) is a state-of-art stellar evaluation code which can be used to model the stellar interior and evolution with a wide range of parameters to simulate a large number of astrophysical scenarios. We expect students to give the opportunity to use the code for the applications of pulsating stars.\u00a0 Thereby introduce the theoretical aspects of pulsating stars and how to properly model stars which can explain the observations.<\/p>\n
The Astronomy and Space Science Unit, Department of Physics<\/strong>, University of Colombo has organized a summer school in astrophysics with the collaboration of International Center of Theoretical Physics (ICTP) Physics Without Frontiers<\/strong>. The program details are as follows.<\/p>\n Date: 5 \u2013 9 August 2024<\/span><\/p>\n Venue: Department of Physics,University of Colombo<\/span><\/p>\n Number of Students: 20 undergraduate students<\/span><\/p>\n Mode of delivery: Physical and online<\/span><\/p>\n The program is mainly consisted of hands on experience of stellar modeling code \u201cModules of Experiments in Astrophysics (MESA) and few guest talks. Dr. Jordi Gutierrez Cabello, Department of Physics, Universitat Polit\u00e8cnica de Catalunya, Spain will be conducting the stellar modeling code session. Few online guest talks are also included with the participation of foreign experts.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Organizing Committee<\/p>\n Project coordinator<\/strong>: Dr. Janaka Adassuriya<\/strong> Dr. Dilanga Siriwardena<\/strong> [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css_animation=”none”]Stellar evolution is the most important aspect of astrophysical processes ranging from protostar to white dwarf\/Neutron Star\/Black Hole.
