Main Sequence Evolution

Main Sequence Evolution is a theoretical framework in stellar astrophysics that describes the phase of a star's life during which it fuses hydrogen into helium in its core, maintaining a stable structure determined by the balance between gravitational contraction and radiative pressure, thereby defining the dominant trajectory of stars on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram.
