Upon completing the course, students will possess the following skills. They are able to
- explain and summarize key models used to model stellar dynamics (k1/k2);
- compute radiative processes in astrophysical settings (k4);
- validate and critically discuss the range of validity of different approximations used in astrophysical settings (k5).
|
During the course, students will acquire knowledge in the following areas and concepts of astrophysics:
- astronomical coordinate systems and unit systems;
- establishing a cosmic distance ladder;
- formation of stars, planets and galaxies;
- overview over astrophysical objects;
- final stages of stellar evolution;
- gravitational dynamics, (solar systems, black holes).
