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.
