Scope of the school

The 2021 Heidelberg Summer School has focussed  on the most relevant aspects of stellar astrophysics, insofar they are relevant for the interaction of stars with each other, and with their planetary systems.

Five distinguished invited lecturers, along with an assortment of local experts, will provide an introduction to the field. In addition to the formal lectures, there will be hands-on sessions to perform simulations on stellar evolution, and to explore Gaia data. We will provide career discussions, and a variety of social activities.

Topics that are covered include: Stellar evolution, binary stars and evolutionary paths leading to sources of gravitational waves, stellar activity and interaction with planetary atmospheres, asteroseismology, mass loss and stellar winds.
