| Title |
Specialist Course - Compact Objects In Galaxies |
| Description |
Lectures:
1.0 General introduction to high energy astrophysics
2.0 Stellar structure equations, Equation of States
3.0 White dwarfs, npe-gas, Equation of states for WD
4.0 Chandrasekhar limit
5.0 Equation of States for dense matter
6.0 Neutron Stars observational signatures
7.0 Pulsars, Radio, X-ray
8.0 Conditions for mass flow through an accretion disks and or wind
9.0 Single aspect of General relativity
10.0 Black holes observational aspects
11.0 Radiation processes
Exercises:
• 6 Exercises for different topics to solve during the whole period
• 1 Numerical Project to work on. Write a simple code, using only analytical equations, to trace (in the Schwarzschild metric) the photons emitted around a black hole as seen from an distant observer.
Objectives:
• Formation and observation of compact stars and stellar black holes in the context of stellar evolution.
• Astrophysical phenomena related to compact objects.
• Properties and description of dense matter.
• Simple applications of the theory of relativity.
