-
4.00 Credits
Spatial distribution of stars within our galaxy; photometric/ spectroscopic/ astronomic/ kinematic properties of major classes of stars; structure and dynamics of the observational determination of structure; stellar populations; and the chemical and structural evolution. Prerequisite: graduate standing in astrophysics.
-
4.00 Credits
Presents material describing current cosmological models and their application to areas of extragalactic astronomy. Topics include cosmic dynamics, introduction to relativistic models, measuring parameters, dark matter, dark energy, the cosmic microwave background radiation, big bang nucleosynthesis. Prerequisite: Graduate standing in astrophysics.
-
4.00 Credits
Presents material necessary for study of the Milky Way, galaxies, active galaxies, and the large-scale structure of the universe. Topics include stellar populations, kinematics and dynamics in the Milky Way and other galaxies, galaxy classification and properties, and active nuclei and quasars. Prerequisite: graduate standing in astrophysics.
-
4.00 Credits
The material between stars is the primary topic, including the chemistry, energetics, and evolution of interstellar matter. The formation of molecules and dust grains, and their composition, are also discussed. Emission processes characteristic of the ISM are described. Prerequisite: ASTR 5460
-
4.00 Credits
Studies to include, but not limited to, area in solar nebula evolution, planetary formation and evolution, planetary surfaces, and planetary atmospheres. Prerequisite: graduate standing in astrophysics or consent of the instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
Reviews recent and current research in planets and exoplanets. Topics may include planet formation, known properties of exoplanets, comparisons to Solar System planets, properties of planet-hosting stars, and evolution of planetary systems. Prerequisties: graduate standing or permission of the instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Presents a detailed study of Einstein's theory of the gravitational field with emphasis on the geometric structure of space-time, and selected topics in general relativity. Prerequisite: PHYS 5320, 5420.
-
3.00 Credits
This course follows ASTR 5630. It begins with the history of classical theories of cosmology, proceeds to generally relativistic models such as the expanding universe, the evolutionary model of the universe, and other models, and concludes with a discussion of observational cosmology. Prerequisite: ASTR 5630.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Investigations on the level of original graduate research in astrophysics. Prerequisite: ASTR 4860 or equivalent.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
No course description available.
