Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Students will gain a detailed insight into the galaxy realm from a phenomenological perspective and learn various methods for measuring the physical properties of galaxies.
Contents include: Luminosity/mass distributions of stars, gas, and dust; stellar and gas kinematics; stellar and gas abundances; star formation history; chemical enrichment; galaxy scaling relations. Various analysis methods and tools for measuring these properties of galaxies using multi-wavelength observations will be discussed.

Assessment and permitted materials

There will be 1 written exam at end of semester. During this exam no electronic or AI tools are allowed. In UE, students will get exercises to be solved in the UE class and will need to present a scientific paper on a topic of the lecture.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Minimum:
- Pass the written exam (>50% points)
- Pass the weekly exercises and the paper presentation.
- Final grade = Exam (50%) + Exercises (20%) + Presentation (30%)

Examination topics

Lectures given during semester (copies of presentations).
