PHYS-439: Introduction to astroparticle physics
We present the role of particle physics in cosmology and in the description of astrophysical phenomena. We also present the methods and technologies for the observation of cosmic particles.
PHYS-402: Astrophysics V : observational cosmology
Cosmology is the study of the structure and evolution of the universe as a whole. This course describes the principal themes of cosmology, as seen
from the point of view of observations.
PHYS-427: Relativity and cosmology I
Introduce the students to general relativity and its classical tests.
PHYS-428: Relativity and cosmology II
This course is the basic introduction to modern cosmology. It introduces students to the main concepts and formalism of cosmology, the observational status of Hot Big Bang theory
and discusses major
PHYS-717: Simulations of Early Universe Magnetohydrodynamics
The course will cover some fundamentals of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) theory with hands-on sessions to learn the basics of MHD simulations using the open-source Pencil Code (http://pencil-code.nordita
PHYS-465: Astrophysics III : galaxy formation and evolution
Galaxy formation & evolution is about studying how galaxies in our Universe come into existence, how they evolve and what shapes their properties. This course describes the observational facts of gala
PHYS-753: Dynamics of astrophysical fluids and plasmas
The dynamics of ordinary matter in the Universe follows the laws of (magneto)hydrodynamics. In this course, the system of equations that describes astrophysical fluids will be discussed on the basis o
