Learning outcomes
Mastering the general issues of studying space objects and phenomena using physical methods, creating a physical picture of the Universe as a single whole within the framework of known physical and astronomical laws. Based on observations of individual objects and phenomena, using fundamental physical laws, the physical parameters of space bodies, such as the Moon, Sun, stars and galaxies, their chemical composition, evolution, kinematic and geometric characteristics, are established. Modern methods allow establishing most of the physical parameters of the observed objects, as well as kinematic ones, such as speed, rotation periods, turbulence parameters in gas and liquid objects, dimensions, densities, temperatures, evolutionary and other characteristics of specific formations on the surface or inside space bodies.
Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
Know the basics of classical mechanics, general and spherical astronomy, methods of astrophysical research. In particular, the basic physical characteristics of the Sun, stars, galaxies, nebulae and interstellar space; methods for determining the characteristics of stars and galaxies; basics of the theory of the internal structure of the r. • Be able to apply previous knowledge of general and spherical astronomy, methods of astrophysical research. Work independently with educational and scientific literature on astrophysics, use Internet resources. • Have the skills to analyze observation data, plan observations to obtain new information about space objects, assess the accuracy of the data obtained.
Course content
Within the framework of this course, students learn to use the knowledge and skills acquired in the framework of previously studied special courses, to work with measuring instruments, maps, plates, catalogs, computer programs, etc. They learn to identify and classify astrophysical objects, to know their characteristic features and methods of their determination. To process observational data, taking into account calibration data and instrumental errors.
