Background reading on light and stellar evolution would be good. I’ve written a couple of blog posts about those:

Description:Our galaxy is physically and chemically shaped by the lives and deaths of stars. In this talk, we’ll see how some of these stars contribute to molding our galaxy. We’ll then learn about how we can use the later phases of these stars, and their physical phenomena, to tell us more about the structure of our galaxy and its chemical evolution.
