to master the methods of studying small bodies of the Solar System, to get acquainted with the state of affairs in the physics of bodies of the Solar System, space and terrestrial results of studies of small bodies.

Full-time form

Successful mastery of basic astronomical courses, namely general and practical astrophysics, celestial mechanics, radio astronomy. Be able to use knowledge of optics, have the basics of photometry and spectroscopy.

The course "Small Bodies of the Solar System" is dedicated to the results of research into our planetary system, its evolution and the role played by small bodies in this, as well as the problem of the existence of the asteroid-comet hazard and possible ways to solve it. The course is designed to deepen and expand knowledge of the physics of the bodies of the Solar System, to obtain new systemic knowledge of the methods used in the study of comets and asteroids. To master the approaches used to model complex processes and describe observations in the physics of the bodies of the Solar System
