Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Historically, most of the information that we have on astronomical objects has been obtained through the analysis of electromagnetic radiation, for example light, X-rays or radio waves. In recent years new windows on the Universe have been opened through the detection of other "messengers", notably gravitational waves, neutrinos and cosmic rays. In the first part of the lecture, we will look at gravitational waves: the theory of their propagation and their emission; detection of gravitational wave signals; astronomical and cosmological sources for gravitational waves. The second part will focus on neutrinos, their physical properties and astronomical sources, such as the Sun, supernovae and the cosmic neutrino background.
