According to the requirements of the educational and professional program, students must: know: The main physical characteristics of stars, galaxies, interstellar and intergalactic space. Methods for determining spectrophotometric characteristics of astrophysical objects, physical foundations of spectral analysis. Methods for determining distances to space objects. Principles of creating electronic astronomical databases and the operation of computer programs for their processing. be able to: 1. Logically and consistently formulate the basic physical principles and laws that determine the characteristics of space objects and the processes occurring in them. 2. Describe the processes occurring in the atmospheres of stars, the interstellar and intergalactic environment, determine the physical characteristics of these objects from their spectra. 3. Work with electronic astronomical databases and programs for their processing.

Full-time form

The presentation of the material is based on the knowledge of physical laws, tools and methods of astrophysical research, which were studied within the disciplines: "Practical Astrophysics" (V semester), "General Astronomy" (V semester), "General Astrophysics" (VІ semester), "Stellar Astronomy" (VII semester), "Extragalactic Astronomy" (VII semester), "Theoretical Astrophysics" (VIII semester), "Fundamentals of Plasma Physics" (VIII semester) and the courses "Quantum Mechanics", "Electrodynamics", "Atomic Physics".

The subject of study of the academic discipline is selected issues of studying space objects and phenomena by physical methods, in particular, using photometry and spectroscopy of objects, as well as electronic astronomical databases. Spectroscopic and photometric observations of space objects allow us to determine the chemical composition, temperature, density, radiation mechanisms, kinematic and other characteristics of space bodies, and to estimate the distance to them. The exponential growth of the volume of astrophysical information obtained in ground and space observations and the development of computer technologies have contributed to the creation of electronic databases available for use by the astronomical community around the world.
