Lecture

Stellar Formations: Jeans Mass and Radius

Description

This lecture covers the formation of stars, starting with the Virial theorem and the Jeans Mass and Radius, which determine the conditions for gravitational collapse. It then explores the Free-fall Time and Gravitational Contraction, discussing the total energy and the life time of stars through fusion processes.
