The goal and objective of the academic discipline "Astrophysics" is to acquire systematic knowledge from the course of astrophysics, which includes the assimilation of basic experimental (observational) data about the Universe, the explanation of the basic physical processes that occur in space objects and environments, the mastery of methods and principles of both the interpretation of observational data and the theoretical approach to solving astrophysical problems. Work on studying the course develops students' ability to master and master modern knowledge about the Universe, the ability to search, process and analyze information from various sources, including electronic resources, and the ability of students to abstract thinking, analysis and synthesis of material from all physical disciplines.

Full-time form

Have basic knowledge of the courses of hall and theoretical physics; in particular, mechanics, optics, electrodynamics, atomic and nuclear physics, thermodynamics and statistical physics, mathematical analysis, ordinary differential equations, fundamentals of mathematical physics. • Be able to apply knowledge from the courses of mathematical analysis, mathematical physics, fundamentals of vector and tensor analysis and differential equations to solve algebraic, differential, integral equations and systems of equations. • Have elementary skills in calculating derivatives, integrals, operations with vectors, constructing graphs of functions, defining and expanding functions into a series and Fourier integral

The subject of the academic discipline "Astrophysics" is the most general issues of studying space objects and phenomena by physical methods, creating a physical picture of the Universe as a single whole within the framework of known physical laws. Based on observations of individual objects and phenomena, using fundamental physical laws, the physical parameters of space 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 speeds of internal motions in them, to estimate distances to them, to determine magnetic fields, etc.
