To know: structure of the sun and processes occurring there; characteristics of solar atmosphere and solar wind plasma; methods for investigation of heliosphere parameters, main modern achievements in heliosphere characteristics analysis. To be able to: logically and sequentially formulate main principles and lows having influence onto heliosphere parameters; plan the methods for analysis of solar and heliosphere characteristics and estimate their applications for other tasks; to work self-dependent with educational and scientific literature and use Internet sources. To take part in discussions about the material to be considered.

Full-time form

Student must know: Introduction to astronomy, basis of hydrodynamics, electrodynamics and plasma physics. Student must be able to: Solve tasks from the courses of hydrodynamics, and electrodynamics. To work with literature sources.

Large amount of questions is covered: from characteristics of sun, solar wind and its generation mechanisms to processes on heliopause, shock waives in heliosphere, and dynamics of dust. In the frame of the given course the following chapters will be considered: sun’s interior and atmosphere, processes in solar corona, solar wind models, heliosphere spatial structure, Rosenberg-Coleman effect, solar and galactic cosmic rays, processes on heliopause and estimation of distances to heliopause, dynamics of heliospheric dust, overview of modern satellite experiments for measuring heliosphere parameters etc.

Lectures, consultations

Knowledge estimation systems includes the current, module and semester control of knowledge. The forms of current control (maximum 30 marks): questioning during lecture process, estimating homeworks, written and self-dependent tasks, referats. Module control (maximum 30 marks): two module control works. Final semester control is carrying out in the form of test (40 marks).
