All students need to register for the exercises (and later for the seminar)

The module consists of

  • the lecture (Thursdays 14:15-16:00, Kleiner Hörsaal, Philosophenweg 12)
  • the exercises (Thursdays 16:00-17:00, Kleiner Hörsaal, Philosophenweg 12)
  • the seminar (as a block course, students will give a 30 minute talk on a topic in stellar astrophysics, the dates of the block course are June 10, June 24, and July 21)

 

The lecture and exercises will be hold by Dr. Maria Bergemann and Dr. Karin Lind.

The seminar will be advised by Dr. Maria Bergemann (or Dr. Karin Lind) and Apl.-Prof. Dr. Stefan Jordan.

In order to obtain the ECTS credit points the students have to successfully participate in the lecture, exercises, and seminar.

1)    Not absent for more than two lecture+tutorials sessions

2)    Solutions to exercises shall be handed in individually and score >60%

3)    On three random occasions present solutions to exercises on the black board.

4)    Attend the seminar sessions and present a 30min seminar

Seminar on June 10

The first part of the seminar "Stellar Astrophysics" will take place on June 10 in the seminar room R107A in Philosophenweg 12. Attendance is mandatory for all participants of the seminar (not only for those giving a talk on June 10!).

Begin: 13:15 CEST
End: ca. 18:30 CEST

Sequence: 
1. Jonas Kemmer: What can giant telescopes do for stellar physics in the next decade?
2. Robert Latka: Asteroseismology: the sound of stars and "star quakes"
3. David Neb: The Solar neutrino problem
4.Deniz Gündüz: Measuring stellar magnetic fields
5. Katja Fahrion: Measuring stellar ages
6. Linda Urich: Multiple populations in Globular Clusters
7. Caroline Dieser: Measuring the the Hubble constant with Cepheids

Please prepare a presentation for 30 minutes. After the talk we will have about 10 minutes of time for discussion.
