Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This course offers a deep overview of current astrophysical research with topics ranging from Solar/stellar to extragalactic astrophysics. Covering wavelengths from X-rays to radio, we would focus on each band individually and explain what physical processes are responsible for the emission in different wavelength regions. Further discussion will include available instrumentation, how to observe or access the data, and how to extract information out of it using state-of-the-art research techniques.We will offer exercises to demonstrate the use of spectral, photometric and other data to learn more about the object of interest. For example, detecting and characterising an Earth-like planet around a Sun-like star is one of the big scientific goals in this century. Students will not only learn about the physics behind planet detection but they will also be provided with real high-resolution spectra and photometric data. They will learn how to analyse these data in order to detect a planet and determine its properties.There will also be discussions on how to access and use archival data, most commonly used softwares, how to write observing proposals, and hands-on observations if possible.
