Courses Description

ASTR 18100 The Milky Way

ASTR 20000 Tutorial in Astronomy and Astrophysics
Students in this tutorial read topics in astronomy and astrophysics under the supervision of a faculty member. Students meet with the instructor in groups of one to three for approximately two hours per week to discuss readings on mutually agreed-upon topics.

ASTR 24100 The Physics of Stars and Stellar Systems
Building upon a student's previous knowledge of physics, this course introduces the astrophysics of stars and stellar systems with an emphasis on the physical nature of stars. Topics include the tools of astronomy, both observational and theoretical Hertzsprung-Russell diagrams, structure and evolution of stars, binary stars, star clusters, and end states of stars such as white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes.

ASTR 24200 The Physics of Galaxies and the Universe
Physical laws are applied in the study of the structures and evolution of galaxies, quasars, clusters of galaxies, and the universe at large.

ASTR 28200 Current Topics in Astrophysics
An area of current research interest in astrophysics is explored in considerable detail. The topic varies, but some examples include the early universe, high energy astrophysics, magneto-hydrodynamics in astrophysics, and observational cosmology.

ASTR 29700 Participation In Research: Astronomy and Astrophysics
Students are assigned to work in the research group of a member of the faculty. Participation in research may take the form of independent work on a small project or assistance to an advanced graduate student or faculty member in his or her research.

NTSC 10200 Evolution of the Universe

PHSC 11900 Stellar Astronomy and Astrophysics

PHSC 12000 Origin of the Universe and How We Know

PHSC 12700 Planets, Comets and Asteroids
