Learning outcomes
The most common issues are the study of cosmic objects and phenomena by physical methods, the creation of a physical picture of the universe as a whole within the known physical laws. Based on observations of individual objects and phenomena, using the fundamental physical laws, the physical parameters of cosmic bodies, their chemical composition and evolution are established. Modern research methods allow not only to determine the composition, temperature, mass, density, luminosity, but also to establish the radial velocities of radiation sources, the mechanisms of their radiation, the speed of internal movements in them, to estimate distances to them, to determine magnetic fields and others.
Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
• Have basic knowledge of hall and theoretical physics courses; in particular in mechanics, optics, electrodynamics, atomic and nuclear physics, thermodynamics and statistical physics, mathematical analysis, ordinary differential equations, basics of mathematical physics. • Be able to apply knowledge from the courses of mathematical analysis, mathematical physics, basics of vector and tensor analysis and differential equations to solve algebraic, differential, integral equations and systems of equations. • Have basic skills in calculating derivatives, integrals, operations with vectors, plotting functions, defining and decomposing functions into series and Fourier integrals.
Course content
Obtaining systematic knowledge of astrophysics, which includes mastering the basic experimental (observational) data about the universe, explaining the basic physical processes occurring in space objects and environments, mastering the methods and principles of both interpretation of observational data and theoretical approach to development. binding of astrophysical problems.
