ASTR 444-01 Observational Astronomy Kelly Douglass TR 3:25PM - 4:40PM
No description Location Bausch & Lomb Room 203H (TR 3:25PM - 4:40PM)
ASTR 462-01 Astro Physics II Petros Tzeferacos TR 12:30PM - 1:45PM
One half of the required 2 part sequence (can be taken before or after ASTR 461). Focuses on hydrodynamic and plasma processes relevant to astrophysics. Fundamentals of fluid dynamics and magnetohydrodynamics, fluid, MHD, and thermal instabilities, turbulence, supersonic and subsonic flow. Accretion physics, shocks, dynamos, particle accelerations in plasmas, dynamics of magnetic fields. Concepts are developed from first principles and many applications in astrophysics are studies. Location Bausch & Lomb Room 480 (TR 12:30PM - 1:45PM)
ASTR 564-01 Sem High Energy Astrophysics Eric Blackman TR 2:00PM - 3:15PM
A survey of current research in high energy astrophysics. Topics drawn from X-ray and gamma x-ray astrophysics, supernovae and planetary nebulae, binary accretors, astrophysics of compact objects (black holes, neutron stars, white dwarfs, plasma astrophysics, magnetic field-particle interactions, cosmic rays, astrophysical jets, active galactic nuclei.
