| 402-0265-00L | Astrophysics III | 10 KP | 3V + 2U | S. P. Quanz, D. Queloz | |
| Kurzbeschreibung | Astrophysics III is a course in Galactic Astrophysics. It introduces the concepts of stellar populations, stellar dynamics, interstellar medium (ISM), and star formation for understanding the physics and phenomenology of the different components of the Milky Way galaxy. | ||||
| Lernziel | The course should provide basic knowledge for research projects in the field of star formation and interstellar matter. A strong emphasis is put on radiation processes and the determination of physical parameters from observations. | ||||
| Inhalt | Astrophysics III: Galactic Astrophysics - components of the Milky Way: stars, ISM, dark matter, - dynamics of the Milky Way and of different subcomponents, - the physics of the interstellar medium, - star formation and feedback, and - the Milky Way origin and evolution. | ||||
| Skript | A lecture script will be distributed. | ||||
| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | Astrophysics I is recommended but not required. | ||||
| 402-0368-13L | Extrasolar Planets | 6 KP | 2V + 1U | S. P. Quanz, C. Dorn, H. M. Schmid | |
| Kurzbeschreibung | The course introduces in detail some of the main observational methods for the detection and characterization of extra-solar planetary systems. It covers the physics of planets (in the solar system and in extra-solar systems) and provides some overview of the current state of this dynamic research field. | ||||
| Lernziel | The course gives an overview of the current state-of-the-art in exoplanet science and serves as basis for first research projects in the field of exoplanet systems and related topics. | ||||
| Inhalt | Content of the lecture EXTRASOLAR PLANETS 1. Planets in the astrophysical context 2. Planets in the solar systems 3. Detecting extra-solar planetary systems 4. Properties of planetary systems and planets 5. Planet formation 6. Search for habitable planets and bio-signatures | ||||
| 402-0368-61L | The Sun, Stars and Planets - Properties, Processes and Interactions Findet dieses Semester nicht statt. | 4 KP | 2G | L. Harra, S. P. Quanz | |
| Kurzbeschreibung | The physics of solar flares, coronal mass ejections and the solar wind will be described. A discussion of the similarities and differences to stellar flares and coronal mass ejections will follow. An introduction to the detection and characterization of extrasolar planets, the impact of stellar phenomena on exoplanets and in particular on their potential habitability will be given. | ||||
| Lernziel | The main goal of the course is to give the students an overview of physical phenomena that lead to impacts on the Earth, planets and exoplanets. The areas described are at the forefront of scientific research internationally, and touch on significant questions such as ‘is there life on other planets’. These topics will be of interest to students studying astrophysics, earth science and planetary sciences. | ||||
