1 Semester

6

students' acquisition of knowledge about the mechanisms of generating powerful electromagnetic, corpuscular and gravitational radiation; their study of new tools and experimental results of studying astrophysical objects in the X-ray and gamma ranges, assimilation of new theoretical principles of modeling high-energy astrophysical processes, mastering methods of calculating physical parameters in objects with extreme physical conditions.

Full-time form

The teaching of the material is based on courses in general and theoretical astrophysics, solar physics, interstellar medium physics, cosmology and extragalactic astronomy. Connection with other disciplines: theoretical physics, plasma physics, nuclear and elementary particle physics

students' acquisition of knowledge about astrophysical objects and phenomena associated with powerful energy release, large energy concentrations, and high-temperature dynamic processes in space plasma.

Lectures, laboratory practice

Control is carried out according to the module-rating system. Content module 1 (CM1) includes topics 1 - 3, and content module 2 (CM2) - topics 1 - 3. A score of 22 points during the semester is mandatory for the exam/credit Students who scored a total of fewer points than the critical-calculated minimum - 60 points to receive the exam/credit must retake the MC.
