| 402-0264-00L | Astrophysics II | 10 credits | 3V + 2U | A. Refregier | |
| Abstract | The course examines various topics in astrophysics with an emphasis on physical processes occurring in an expanding Universe, from a time about 1 microsecond after the Big Bang, to the formation of galaxies and supermassive black holes within the next billion years. | ||||
| Learning objective | The course examines various topics in astrophysics with an emphasis on physical processes occurring in an expanding Universe. These include the Robertson-Walker metric, the Friedmann models, the thermal history of the Universe including Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, and introduction to Inflation, and the growth of structure through gravitational instability. Finally, the physics of the formation of cosmic structures, dark matter halos and galaxies is reviewed. | ||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | Prior completion of Astrophysics I is recommended but not required. | ||||
| 402-0300-00L | IPA Colloquium  | 0 credits | 1S | A. Biland, A. Refregier, H. M. Schmid, further lecturers | |
| Abstract | Research colloquium, with a particular emphasis on IPA-related research topics. | ||||
| Learning objective | "The goal is to widen the horizon on the physics topics investigated inhouse by the IPA groups. In addition, it shall provide opportunities to share and exchange scientific ideas among the IPA people." | ||||
