Stellar evolution

Project description

The main question of this project was to find out if there is a way to take very few values and calculate detailed astronomical values of a star and the phase it is in. With these calculated values a 3d model of the star is generated showing users a visual representation of the star and the measurements they have done.

Context

Astronomy

Results

The most important outcomes are the fully working and accurate algorithm calculating values like wavelength (for HSL color scale generation), volume, radius, density, phase, sequence, spectral type and luminosity class of a star. Those values are then used for the 3d models. These models have been created using three.js and are updated dynamically by the user's input. The project is currently at TRLevel 3.
