  • ART 587: French Architecture: Visual Culture in 1920's Paris

    0.00 - 4.00 Credits
    Princeton University

    Object, Building, Body: Visual Culture in 1920s Paris -This seminar will explore a particular moment in the French visual arts, when architects, painters, photographers and film-makers articulated new and often conflicting concepts of the object, architecture, and the body. It will range from Le Corbusier and Ozenfant to Léger and Man Ray, the machine aesthetic, the Ballets Russes, and the avant-garde appropriation of film. How did these artists respond - or not - to sweeping social and political changes, such as transformations in gender roles, the colonization of Algeria, and the emergence of negritude?

  • AST 201: Mapping the Universe

    0.00 - 4.00 Credits
    Princeton University

    We will begin by discussing the cartographers' problem of mapping the curved surface of the Earth onto a flat plane, and compare different map projections and their properties. We consider projections for mapping the Moon, Mars, Jupiter, and the sky. Other topics include mapping the solar system and galaxy, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey 3D map of the visible universe, the WMAP map of the cosmic microwave background, Einstein's mapping of space and time, and mapping the inside of the black hole. Finally, we explore the Gott-Juric Map of the Universe, showing everything from satellites in low Earth orbit to distant galaxies and quasars.

  • AST 203: The Universe

    0.00 - 4.00 Credits
    Princeton University

    This specially designed course targets the frontier of modern astrophysics. Subjects include the planets of our solar system, the birth, life, and death of stars; the search for extrasolar planets and extraterrestrial life; the zoo of galaxies from dwarfs to giants, from starbursts to quasars; dark matter and the large-scale structure of the universe; Einstein's special and general theory of relativity, black holes, neutron stars, and big bang cosmology. This course is designed for the non-science major and has no prerequisites past high school algebra and geometry. High school physics would be useful.

  • AST 303: Modeling and Observing the Universe: Research Methods in Astrophysics

    0.00 - 4.00 Credits
    Princeton University

    How do we observe and model the universe? We discuss the wide range of observational tools available to the modern astronomer: from space-based gamma ray telescopes, to globe-spanning radio interferometry, to optical telescopes and particle detectors. We review basic statistics and introduce students to techniques used in analysis and interpretation of modern data sets containing millions of galaxies, quasars and stars, as well as the numerical methods used by theoretical astrophysicists to model these data. The course is problem-set-based and aims to provide students with tools needed for independent research in astrophysics.

  • AST 309: Science and Technology of Nuclear Energy: Fission and Fusion

    0.00 - 4.00 Credits
    Princeton University

    Concern about climate change is creating the potential for a renaissance of nuclear fission power. The international ITER fusion experiment is being built to demonstrate the scientific and technological feasibility of fusion. This course will introduce the science and technology of fission and fusion. We will also cover societal risks, such as nuclear weapons proliferation, and societal benefits, such as reduced CO2 emissions.

  • AST 403: Stars and Star Formation

    0.00 - 4.00 Credits
    Princeton University

    Stars form by the gravitational collapse of interstellar gas clouds, and as they evolve, return some of their gas to the interstellar medium, altering its physical state and chemical composition. This course discusses the properties and evolution of the gaseous and stellar components of a galaxy: the theory and observations of star formation; stellar structure; the production of energy by nucleosynthesis; stellar evolution; stellar end states; and the interpretation of observations of the diffuse and dense interstellar medium. We will discuss how major telescopes and space missions might tackle these problems.

  • AST 514: Structure of the Stars

    0.00 - 4.00 Credits
    Princeton University

    Theoretical and numerical analysis of the structure of stars and their evolution. Topics include a survey of the physical process important for stellar interiors (equation of state, nuclear reactions, transport phenomena); macroscopic properties of stars and their stability; evolution of single and binary stars; mass loss and accretion of matter; and accretion disks. Emphasis is given to numerical modeling of various types of stars.

  • AST 517: Diffuse Matter in Space

    0.00 - 4.00 Credits
    Princeton University

    Subject of course is the astrophysics of the interstellar medium: theory and observations of the gas, dust, plasma, energetic particles, magnetic field, and electromagnetic radiation in interstellar space. Emphasis will be on theory, including elements of: fluid dynamics; excitation of atoms, molecules and ions; radiative processes; radiative transfer; simple interstellar chemistry; and physical properties of dust grains.The theory will be applied to phenomena including; interstellar clouds (both diffuse atomic clouds and dense molecular clouds); HII regions; shock waves; supernova remnants; cosmic rays; interstellar dust; and star formation.
