Stellar Astrophysics (MVAstro2, MVSpec)

Sommersemester 2024
Dozent: Ralf Klessen, Stefan Jordan
34 Teilnehmer/innen

Lecture: Thursdays, 14:15-15:45

Tutorial Group 1: Thursday, 15:45-17:15

Tutorial Group 2: Thursday, 17:15-18:45 (possible second group)

 

To excel in the module MVAstro2 "Stellar Astrophysics," it is essential to complete an adequate number of exercises and attend the tutorials. Merely submitting exercises through the Übungsgruppensystem is insufficient; you must also be prepared to present your solutions during the tutorial sessions. 
 
Credit points cannot be awarded solely based on participation in the written exam; attendance at the tutorials is also required to receive credit.

04.7.24: Stellar atmospheres, stellar spectra (Stefan Jordan)

11.7.24: Stellar rotation, magnetic fields (Ralf Klessen)

18.7.23: Stellar pulsation, spectra, neutron stars, black holes (Ralf Klessenn)

25.7.23: Written exam (Ralf Klessen, Stefan Jordan): 9:00-12:00 CEST, "Neuer Hörsaal", Philosophenweg 12

 

Seminar:

 3 full days between July 29 and  Jul 31, 2024, starting at 9:15 CEST, "Kleiner Hörsaal", Philosophenweg 12.

 

 
The length of your talk will be  35 minutes. Following your talk, there will be an opportunity for questions and feedback.
 
You have to be present on all three days of the seminar!
