As a result of studying the course, the student should master the basics of astrophysics and be able to: logically and consistently formulate the basic physical principles and laws that determine the characteristics of space objects and the processes occurring in them; describe the processes occurring in the atmospheres of stars, determine the physical characteristics of stars from their spectra; analyze observation data, plan observations to obtain new information about space objects, assess the accuracy of the obtained data; solve typical astrophysical problems related to the material being studied; independently work with educational and scientific literature on astrophysics, use Internet resources.

Full-time form

Know the basic laws of mechanics, optics, atomic physics, electrodynamics, thermodynamics, Have mathematical apparatus – mathematical analysis, differential equations analytical geometry. • Be able to apply previous knowledge from courses in optics, atomic physics and electrodynamics. Evaluate the accuracy of the results of astronomical observations and the potential capabilities of telescopes and research methods. • Have skills in solving problems from courses in analytical geometry, mathematical analysis, optics, electrodynamics. Have skills in working with scientific information – scientific publications, the Internet.

The presentation of the material is based on the knowledge of physical laws studied in the courses of experimental and theoretical physics, knowledge of methods and principles of experimental research in general and, in particular, in optics, as well as on general ideas about the Universe, which are studied by students in the course "General Astronomy". In turn, the discipline "General Astrophysics" creates the prerequisites for studying the following disciplines under the program of the specialty "Astronomy". The course considers the main experimental (observational) results of the study of the Sun, bodies of the Solar System, stationary and non-stationary stars, and the interstellar medium. Based on physical laws, models and theoretical approaches are presented to explain experimental results, and the physical conditions and chemical composition and state of matter for the celestial objects being studied are determined.
