Stars, to mark the 80th birthday of Peter Eggleton
14 August 2022 - 20 August 2022
A century ago the theory of stellar evolution was in its infancy. Ideas abounded on the equation of state, the internal structure and the energy source. The next few decades saw consolidation with Saha' theory of ionization in 1920 leading to Payne's affirmation that the stars are predominantly hydrogen in 1925, Gamov's calculations of quantum mechanical tunnelling in 1925 leading ultimately to the nuclear fusion reactions we understand today.
