33-732 Galaxies

12 units, Carnegie Mellon University

This graduate course examines the phenomenology of galaxies ranging from the smallest ‘dwarf’ galaxies to the largest galaxy clusters, highlighting the physical processes and computational/analysis tools necessary to investigate and understand the formation, evolution, structure of galactic systems as well as their importance for adjacent areas of astrophysics. Students will develop analytical, numerical, and computational problem-solving skills essential for graduate research on galaxies and related fields.
