課程概述 |
This is an one-semester, introductory graduate course aiming at beginning graduate students and advanced undergraduate students. We will provide an extensive and self-contained overview of observational aspects of galaxy formation and evolution, incorporating the latest results. We will start with an overview of galaxy formation in the cold dark matter with a cosmological constant framework, then continue to dive in to more detailed discussions on radiation from galaxies, statistical properties of galaxies, the formation of late and early type galaxies, galaxy clusters, and observational techniques of distant galaxies.
Note that this course is complementary to "Galactic Astrophysics (星系天文物理)", which will mainly focus on galactic dynamics. |
|
課程目標 |
It is expected that, after taking the course, the students will have a basic, yet solid understanding of the current theory of galaxy formation, which will allow them to conduct basic research projects in galaxy formation and evolution. |
|
課程要求 |
There is no prerequisite for this course; however, those who have taken "stellar evolution" and "observational techniques (天文觀測)" will find the course to be more accessible. Furthermore, our homework assignments require some basic coding capabilities in any modern computing languages.
Although the lectures will be delivered in Chinese, all the course works (homework and final report) should be done in English. |
