Astrophysics I · Physics
I learned a lot about the structure, composition and evolution of single and binary stars, white dwarves and black holes
The knowledge about the different type of stars.
It's good for the students who have already researched this part for a while. 1 Columbia University: Arts & Sciences Spring 2021 Course: PHYSGR6011_001_2021_1-ASTROPHYSICSI : PHYSGR6011_001_2021_1 - ASTROPHYSICS I Instructor: Yury Levin
Use of scaling arguments to obtain a crude impression of orders of magnitude for physical quantities in the context of astrophysics (a field in which experiments are not as easy to conduct); the evolution of stars, hydrodynamics, recent research problems
A qualitative and quantitative working knowledge of the physics and phenomenology of stars and their variants. A good introduction to the type of thinking and problem solving (eg estimates of scale) appropriate for an astrophysical framework.
Technically very experienced advisor, interesting excursions (question-related, paper-related), interactive
