Physics

Scientific paper

An overview of pulsations and instabilities throughout the HR diagram will be presented in relation to a description of the main phases of stellar evolution. The various groups of variable stars will be discussed as well as their properties.
We shall also examine the basic physics of stellar pulsations with a particular emphasis on the driving mechanisms. These mechanisms are essentially effects due to stellar opacity and radiation pressure. Radiation also plays a major role in producing stellar winds and the many consequences of these winds on the evolution will be illustrated.
