REACH FOR THE STARS, Division B
DESCRIPTION: Students will demonstrate an understanding of the properties and
Evolution of stars and their observation with different portions of the electromagnetic
Spectrum: Radio, Infrared, Visible, Ultraviolet, X-Ray and Gamma Ray.
Part I: Constellation, Star, and Deep Sky Object (DSO) Identification
Part II:
i: Stellar Evolution
stellar nurseries, protostars, main sequence stars, red giants, planetary
nebulas, white dwarfs, red supergiants, type Ia supernovas, Type II
supernovas, neutron stars black holes
ii: Spectral Classification of Stars
spectra and the H-R diagram
iii: The Electromagnetic Spectrum
multiwavelength observations
iv: Stellar Temperatures, Radii, and Luminosities
