*The Vatican Observatory is delighted to announce the 20th Summer School in
Astrophysics, “The cosmic legacy of evolved stars” will be held 30 May - 25
June 2027 at our headquarters in Castel Gandolfo, Italy.*

TOPIC:

The later stages of stellar evolution stand at the frontier of modern
astrophysics, where extreme physics, complex chemistry, and transformative
processes converge. As stars climb the red giant and asymptotic giant
branches, shed their outer layers, and pass through the planetary nebula
phase before fading into white dwarfs, they drive chemical enrichment
across their host galaxies — making them central to understanding how
galaxies assemble over cosmic time. With JWST and the Roman Space Telescope
ushering in a new observational era, demand for expertise in evolved
stellar physics has never been greater. This curriculum — spanning stellar
interiors, nucleosynthesis, dust formation, mass loss, and the use of
evolved stars as distance indicators and population tracers — equips
participants with the physical intuition and observational tools to address
open questions at the intersection of stellar evolution, interstellar
chemistry, and galaxy formation.

ABOUT THE SCHOOL:

• the School is meant for astronomy students in the final year  of their
undergraduate studies or their first years of post-graduate (graduate)
studies

• selection is based entirely on the background, interest, and ability of
the student; the only limit is that we choose only two students from any
country

• there is no required fee to attend, and students with financial hardships
can apply for support towards their travel and housing costs
