Prerequisite: PH418 Astrophysics.
Meeting pattern: 5 periods per week including lab

This course emphasizes the origin, structure, and evolution of massive stars and the events that lead to supernovas, black holes, and neutron stars. The origin, structure, and evolution of galaxies and the universe are also studied in detail. Students are expected to integrate physics and chemistry principles into the study of both stellar and galactic structure and evolution. Opportunities for telescope observation and image processing projects are available.
