Theoretical Astrophysics
The goal of theoretical astrophysics is to provide physical and
conceptual understanding of the diverse systems that represent our
universe. To emphasize the different approach needed for developing a
theoretical framework, this course is organized into themes of
governing physical principles. For each of the three main themes
(gravity, gas physics and quantum physics), we start with fundamental
principles and then discuss applications in various astronomical
contexts. We will show how application of simple physical laws can
explain the observed properties of an astounding range of astronomical
objects!
