Preparation:
Adequate preparation in the M.Sc. in Astrophysics programme
Choice of classes to be made with mentor
Content: This module contains a number of lectures on various astrophysical phenomena, from stars to the largescale structure of the universe
Aims/Skills: The student shall acquire deeper knowledge of a variety of astrophysical phenomena, from stars through large-scale structure to cosmological aspects. The physical mechanisms and mathematical tools required to understand these phenomena shall be conveyed, complementing what is being treated in the compulsory astrophysics courses
Form of Testing and Examination: If the lecture is offered with exercises: requirements for the submodule examination (written or oral examination): successful work with exercises
Length of Module: 1 semester
Maximum Number of Participants: ca. 100
Registration Procedure: s. https://basis.uni-bonn.de u. http://bamawww.physik.uni-bonn.de
Note: The students must obtain 18 CP in all out of the modules astro830, -840, -850.
