Additional Course Info | Class Number: 1862 This course is an in-depth look at the many facets of the violent stellar demise known as supernovae. We will examine observational techniques for discovery, classification, and multi-wavelength followup of individual events. We will explore the astrophysics of how the evolution of stars leads to their deaths, including the physics of explosions, nucleosynthesis, and shocks. The cosmological implications of supernovae will be discussed, as will the effect supernovae have on their surroundings. We will look at what the future holds for the study of supernovae, and what future supernovae may have in store for us.; Prerequisite(s): ASTR H205 and ASTR H206; Enrollment Limit: 30 Natural Science, C: Physical and Natural Processes (; Hav: NA, C) |
