Structure and Evolution of Low-Mass Stars: An Overview and Some Open Problems
arXiv:astro-ph/0703724 · doi:10.1063/1.2790333
Abstract
A review is presented of some of the ingredients, assumptions and techniques that are used in the computation of the structure and evolution of low-mass stars. Emphasis is placed on several ingredients which are still subject to considerable uncertainty. An overview of the evolution of low-mass stars is also presented, from the cloud collapse phase all the way to the white dwarf cooling curve.
