High Energy Astrophysics

Utbildningsfakta

Kod: AS7008

The goal of this course is to give basic knowledge about high-energy processes in the Universe and how these can be studied both theoretically and observationally. Objects like supernovae, gamma-ray bursts, white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes are studied. The course also includes physical processes that can give rise to the observed radiation, like mass transfer in binary systems, acceleration of relativistic particles and neutrino astronomy.

In particular, basic knowledge in gasdynamics and radiation processes corresponding to the courses Astrofysikalisk gasdynamik, AN, 7,5hp (AS7002) and Astrofysikaliska strålningsprocesser, AN, 7,5hp. (AS7005) is needed. Also required is knowledge equivalent to Swedish upper secondary school course English B, or equivalent to one of the following tests; Cambridge CPE and CAE: Pass, IELTS: 6.0 (with no part of the test below 5.0), TOEFL (paper based): 550 (with minimum grade 4 on the written test part), TOEFL (computer based): 213, TOEFL (internet based): 79.
