[Phys-l] astronomy



I'm teaching some "basic" ideas about binary stars to my astronomy
students (not much physics background). I found a table of visual binaries
and am looking for a list of spectroscopic binaries and eclipsing
binaries. Does anyone know of a good online source for this?

I'm also looking for a "basic" discussion about stellar evolution
(including white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes). I realize these
are complex,/advanced topics which are difficult to simplify for students.
