Astrophysics
A course designed to introduce students to astrophysics and
in particular to nuclear astrophysics. We will discuss
observations, cosmology, particle and nuclear physics,
interaction of radiation with matter, stellar evolution, big
bang nucleosynthesis, neutron stars, supernova explosions,
cosmic rays and other exotic phenomena in the Universe.
