ASTR 461-01 Astrophysics I Eric Blackman TR 2:00PM - 3:15PM
One half of the required 2 part sequence (can be taken before or after ASTR 462). Focuses on the physics of radiation production by ionized and atomic matter, the transfer of radiation through matter, and what we measure from astrophysical objects. Concepts are developed from first principles and many applications in astrophysics are studied. (course is cross-listed with PHYS 451). Location (TR 2:00PM - 3:15PM)
