... Stars start their life on the Hayashi track at low central density and temperature (Lecture 5-3 slides 14–19). As the star contracts, the core heats up (virial theorem, lecture 2) and eventually reaches H-burning conditions. At that point contraction will halt, as nuclear energy generation can suppl ...
