Abstract
In the next chapters we will discuss the evolution of single stars. We may divide these stars into different groups according to their mass. Each group of stars has a different evolutionary history : After core hydrogen burning the low mass stars develop a helium core where the electrons are degenerate. This degeneracy is lifted by the helium flash.
