Testi Adottati

L.S. Sparke and J.S. Gallagher
Galaxies in the Universe - An Introduction. Cambridge University Press

Modalità Erogazione

Lectures are given by using the blackboard and by projecting slides. Some exercises are solved.

Modalità Valutazione

The candidate will choose and address an astrophysical topic by putting it in its astrophysical context, by describing the most relevant astrophysical issues and by showing how the most relevant formulae are obtained. Then the commission will choose two other topics to be addressed by the candidate in a similar way. The level of accuracy, completeness and critical attitude will be evaluated.
