Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Unlock the secrets of galaxies through numerical simulations, where physics meets high-performance computing. This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the state-of-the-art computational methods used to study the dynamical structure and evolution of galaxies. Emphasising the interplay between theory, simulation, and observation, the course covers the fundamental concepts governing galactic systems, including the collisionless Boltzmann, Poisson and fluid dynamics equations, and, more importantly, their numerical solutions. Key topics include various N-body techniques, orbit integration, potential solvers, hydrodynamics and the implementation of the basic algorithms such as treecodes and particle-mesh schemes. Students will have access to multiple prepared solutions and the possibility to develop practical expertise through hands-on programming assignments and micro-projects involving the simulations and/or analysis of various stellar systems, ISM, galaxy formation, secular evolution and mergers models. The course is designed for advanced MSc students and PhD students in astrophysics or related fields with prior knowledge of classical mechanics and basic programming skills in Python; some experience with C/C++ is a plus, but not mandatory. The language of the course will be English.
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
A total of maximum 100 points can be collected via the quizzes, assignments (or a micro-project) and an informal presentation. Minimal attendance of 50% is required. The assignments/micro-projects include writing pieces of code or modifying the provided software, performing calculations and some basic analysis/visualization.
Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
The combined points lead to the following final integer grade:
87.50 - 100.0 => 1 (excellent)
75.00 - 87.49 => 2 (good)
62.50 - 74.99 => 3 (satisfactory)
50.00 - 62.49 => 4 (sufficient)
If the minimum number of 50 points is not reached the final integer grade is 5 (fail)
87.50 - 100.0 => 1 (excellent)
75.00 - 87.49 => 2 (good)
62.50 - 74.99 => 3 (satisfactory)
50.00 - 62.49 => 4 (sufficient)
If the minimum number of 50 points is not reached the final integer grade is 5 (fail)
