Abstract
Stellar evolution, the theory of how stars evolve, relies on observations on many stars with different masses, colors, ages, and chemical composition. Two of the principal successes of the stellar evolution theory are the prediction of the mass-luminosity relation in main sequence stars and the explanation of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. This is a scatter graph of absolute magnitude or luminosity of stars versus temperature (color). The energy of stars is provided by nuclear fusion reactions in their core, Sect. 12.1, and their evolution is strongly dependent upon their mass.

This is usually called normal ordering or Normal Hierarchy. Another possible solution is the case with \(0<m_3 \ll m_1 < m_2\), which corresponds to an inverted ordering or Inverted Hierarchy. We do not consider these aspects of \(\nu \) physics.
