The course is addressed to second year students. It is an introduction to the physics of the interstellar medium, galaxies and modern cosmology. It is recommended that the students who wish to follow the course have completed successfully the courses Astrophysics-I and Introduction to Modern Physics
Interstellar medium (interstellar dust, gaseous nebulae, cosmic rays)
The Galaxy (shape and size of the Galaxy, stellar populations, differential rotation)
Inactive and Active galaxies (Galaxy classification, distribution of brightness and mass, active galaxies, models of active galaxies)
Galaxy clusters and expansion of the Universe (Galaxy interactions, galaxy mergers, galaxy clusters, expansion of the Universe)
Gravity and Cosmology (Newtonian Cosmology, Theory of General Relativity, Geometry of Space-time)
Big-Bang and formation of matter (The theory of Bing Bang, Inflation, formation of matter)
The courses of the Computer Science Department are designated with the letters "CS" followed by three decimal digits. The first digit denotes the year of study during which students are expected to enroll in the course; the second digit denotes the area of computer science to which the course belongs.
