-
1.00 Credits
Projects include use of telescopes, laboratory experiments in the nature of light, spectroscopy, and the analysis of astronomical data. Lab 2 ASTR C1904 - goes with ASTR BC1754 or ASTR C1404 (or ASTR C1836).
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: a working knowledge of calculus. Corequisite: a course in calculus-based general physics. First term of a two-term calculus-based introduction to astronomy and astrophysics. Topics include the physics of stellar interiors, stellar atmospheres and spectral classifications, stellar energy generation and nucleosynthesis, supernovae, neutron stars, white dwarfs, and interacting binary stars. Science Requirement: Partial Fulfillment.
-
3.00 Credits
Topics include the structure of our galaxy, the interstellar medium, star clusters, properties of external galaxies, clusters of galaxies, active galactic nuclei, and cosmology.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: one year of calculus based physics. The emerging field of extrasolar planets and astrobiology will be covered at a quantitative level, with a major emphasis on astrophysical phenomenae and techniques. The subject will be introduced through an investigation of current planetary formation theories and approaches to planet detection, including what we currently know about extrasolar planets and detailed reference to state-of-the-art studies. An astronomer's view of the origin of life and extreme biology will be developed and applied to questions of cosmo-chemistry, observable life-signatures, habitable zones and other astrophysical constraints on the development of organisms.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: one year of calculus-based general physics. Physics majors could take this course with no previous astronomy background. The properties of compact astronomical objects such as white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes; and their manifestations in pulsars, novae, supernova remnants, quasars, and active galactic nuclei. High-energy radiation mechanism and the instrumentation of high-energy astrophysics are also covered.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: One year of calculus-based general physics. The standard hot big bang cosmological model and modern observational results that test it. Topics include the Friedmann equations and the expansion of the universe, dark matter, dark energy, inflation, primordial nucleosynthesis, the cosmic microwave background, the formation of large-scale cosmic structures, and modern cosmological observations.
-
3.00 Credits
Observational Astronomy Lecture & Lab. Prerequisites: One year of general astronomy. Introduction to the basic techniques used in obtaining and analyzing astronomical data. Focus on "ground-based" methods, at optical, infrared, and ultraviolet wavelengths. Regular use of the telescope facilities atop the roof of the Pupin Labs, to acquire photometry and spectroscopy of stars, planets, and nebulae. There will also be apportunity to acquire and analyze data from National Observatories, and from spacecraft. Given in alternate years.
