Course objectives (in Czech)
Předmět je určen studentům odborné fyziky se zameřením na teoretickou fyziku a astrofyziku. Jeho cílem je hlubší seznámení s problematikou fyzikálních podmínek a procesů v nitru hvězd, s nevratnou změnou chemického složení hvězd. V přednášce jsou rozebírány jak vybrané klasické tak i moderní partie teorie stavby a vývoje hvězd.
