AST 721 - Astrophysics of Gaseous Nebulae and Active Galactic Nuclei


Credits 3

Theory and observations used to determine the physical conditions in gaseous nebulae (H II regions, planetary nebulae, supernova remnants, etc.) and active galactic nuclei. Formation of spectra in these regions and analysis to determine temperatures, density and chemical composition. Recent observational results also discussed.



Prerequisites
Graduate standing.
