Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
How galaxies assemble and attain their properties is an area of active research in astronomy. The students will learn what we can say about galaxy evolution just from observations and dynamical arguments. They will learn about some outstanding open questions in the research of galaxy formation. They will experiment with galaxy simulations and with data analysis software commonly used in astronomy. The emphasis will be on the practical applications of the acquired knowledge in galaxy evolution.The course is suitable for PhD and MSc students in Astronomy. The language of the course will be English.
Assessment and permitted materials
The assessment will be based on 1) attendance in the lectures and 2) the completion of assignments. The assignments will typically include writing brief computer codes, utilization of existing software, and problem solving.A total of maximum 100 points can be achieved, of which 50% through active participation and 50% through completion of the assignments.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
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)
Examination topics
No exam, but required participation and assignments.
