ASTRON 301: Writing About Astronomy
3.00 Credits
University of Massachusetts Amherst
Satisfies Junior Year Writing Requirement. The goal of this course is to teach the writing techniques and styles that are appropriate for the types of careers that might be pursued by an astronomy major. The course will be composed of both a set of short writing assignments and longer assignments, and some of these assignments will be orally presented to the class. All students will critique the talks, and some written assignments will be exchanged between students for peer editing and feedback. Some papers will require analysis of astrophysical data. Prerequisites: Completion of 200-level or higher astronomy class, ENGLWRIT 112 or 113, and at least the first two semesters of the first year physics sequence.

ASTRON 335H: Modern Astrophysics
4.00 Credits
University of Massachusetts Amherst
This is a course in applied physics with the ultimate goal of describing how stars work. Topics include gravitation, stellar mass determination, structure, atmospheres, evolution, and the physics of pulsating stars. We will approach each of these topics from fundamental concepts and we will work our way to a detailed understanding. On the way we will review the structure of the atom, radiative processes, and some basic principles of thermodynamics.

ASTRON 339: Astronomy in a Global Context
3.00 Credits
University of Massachusetts Amherst
In this course, the class will operate as a 'think tank' and consider an important problem for the semester. Like problems presented to a real think tank, the questions for study will be considered to have come from a specific customer who has specific requirements and reasons for requesting the study. The work will consist of three phases: (1) reflection on the question itself and preparation of a workplan to address it; (2) scientific study of the problem; and (3) formulation of recommendations and a final work product for the customer. We elaborate on each of these phases below. Satisfies the Integrative Experience requirement for BA-Astron and BS-Astron majors.

ASTRON 452H: Astrophysics II:Galaxies
4.00 Credits
University of Massachusetts Amherst
The application of physics to the understanding of astronomical phenomena. Physical processes in the gaseous interstellar medium: photoionization in HII regions and planetary nebulae; shocks in supernova remnants and stellar jets; energy balance in molecular clouds. Dynamics of stellar systems: star clusters and the virial theorem; galaxy rotation and the presence of dark matter in the universe; spiral density waves. Quasars and active galactic nuclei: synchroton radiation; accretion disks; supermassive black holes. Physical processes in the gaseous interstellar medium: photoionization and HII regions and emission lines; shocks in supernova remnants and stellar jets; energy balance in molecular clouds. Quasars and active galactic nuclei: synchroton radiation; accretion disks; supermassive black holes. Students are involved in the course in discussions, oral presentations, and lab projects. The course is being taught at a higher level than a non-honors course, and a strong background in physics and math is required.
