Form of Examination: written examination
Content: This module presents both, theoretical aspects, as well as the detailed properties of the major building blocks of cosmic structure, viz. galaxies. The fundamentals of the physics of the interstellar medium are conveyed, along with the tools used to study its properties
Aims/Skills: The student shall acquire knowledge about the properties of galaxies, including their formation and their evolution, based on knowledge of the constituent matter (stars, gas, dark matter). The fundamentals of stellar dynamics are also conveyed. Physical processes relevant for the study of the interstellar medium have to be understood including the basic methods of measurements and their interpretation of the fundamental phases of the ISM
Course achievement/Criteria for awarding cp’s: successful work with the exercises
