Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Galaxies continuously grow through the conversion of gas into stars and via accretion of stars through merging with satellite galaxies. While the stars can be described as a collisionless dynamical system, the gas in and around galaxies behaves thermodynamically. This seminar will introduce theoretical principles of stellar and gas dynamics as well as related observational signatures at different wavelengths. The course consists of lectures plus exercises and is intended for master students in Astronomy.
Assessment and permitted materials
Assessment of student performances will be based on presence (minimum 80%), active participation and exercises.Points can be collected each week throughout the semester by active participation (quiz: 1 point per correct answer; feedback box: up to 2 points per contribution) as well as in-person and home exercises (up to 10 points per exercise).
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Exercises need to be handed in to collect points.The course grade is determined relative to the maximum achievable score (100%):
> 87.50% => 1 (excellent)
75.00% - 87.49% => 2 (good)
62.50% - 74.99% => 3 (satisfactory)
50.00% - 62.49% => 4 (sufficient)
If 50% is not reached the final integer grade is 5 (fail).
