Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The field of galaxy evolution has undergone a revolution in the past ~30 years. With the next decade of new facilities (JWST, ELTs, Euclid, Rubin, SKA) the field is expected to undergo another major advancement. This course will cover galaxy evolution in a modern context including the evolution of disk galaxies, connections to the Milky Way, the role of gas, and quenching. Students will come away from this course with an understanding of what upcoming simulations and telescopes are expected to reveal about galaxies.

This course will be combination of lectures and tutorials that focus on developing ideas in astrophysics. Students will learn about logical fallacies, how to identify them in scientific writing, and practice their journal club presentation skills. Exercises will require critical thinking and literature research.

Assessment and permitted materials

The assessment will be based on active participation, i.e., contributing to the discussions through asking questions and providing input via exercises and an informal presentation.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The seminars are in English. A minimum participation of 75% is required as well as at least one informal presentation.

Examination topics

Current research topics in the field galaxy evolution.

Reading list

Potential reading materials will be suggested during the seminars.
