| Abstract: |
Three case studies in the areas of high energy astrophysics, classical cosmology, and astrophysical cosmology and the origin of galaxies are presented. Attention is given to solar neutrinos, solar and stellar seismology, nucleosynthesis of the heavy elements, stellar evolution in globular clusters, and postmain-sequence evolution and mass loss. It is shown how the understanding of the internal structures of the stars is directly related to processes which are of importance in a wide range of different astrophysical disciplines. Determination of the deceleration of the universe from observations of distant galaxies is adressed. |
