http://staff.imsa.edu/science/astro/

Extractions: Spring Semester, 2003 Astrophysics is the study of astronomical processes through the use of physics. Where astronomy traditionally is based on observing, astrophysics applies the principles of physics to ask "why?" and to make predictions. Asking "why?" sounds a lot like " inquiry " doesn't it? It is the intention of this course and this web site to offer students a portal into inquiry in the space sciences. Here you will find many resources developed in-house and many more links to non-IMSA sites. You will not find this site to be an online textbook or a cookie-cutter course aimed at teaching you everything there is to know about astrophysics. It is, instead, your springboard for inquiry into the subject The basic structure of the course is rather fluid. It is designed so that the student can investigate questions of interest or pertinence in the space sciences. The course covers the basic topics from any good astrophysics course, but is designed around four central topics: The size and scale of the universe Energy and matter in the universe Evolution of the universe (beginning with the Big Bang) Observing our universe

Extractions: Spiral Galaxy ESO 269-57 Astrophysics is the branch of astronomy that deals with the physics of the universe, including the physical properties ( luminosity density temperature and chemical composition) of astronomical objects such as stars galaxies , and the interstellar medium , as well as their interactions. The study of cosmology is theoretical astrophysics at the largest scales. Because it is a very broad subject, astrophysicists typically apply many disciplines of physics including, but not limited to, mechanics electromagnetism statistical mechanics thermodynamics ... nuclear and particle physics , and atomic and molecular physics . In practice, modern astronomical research involves a substantial amount of physics. The name of a university's department ("astrophysics" or "astronomy") often has to do more with the department's history than with the contents of the programs. edit Although astronomy is as old as recorded history, it was long separated from the study of physics.

Astrophysics At The University Of Leeds
astrophysics Group Homepage at The University of Leeds.
http://www1.ast.leeds.ac.uk/

Extractions: The top image shows a jet from a young star, while the bottom image shows a jet from an active galaxy. While there are underlying similarities in the physics of these objects, their scales are very different. The Herbig Haro 1 and 2 bipolar outflow (top), with a length of around a lightyear from tip to tip, originates on a star having an age of around a million years and a mass comparable to that of the Sun. Leeds has major research programmes in star formation, the discs around stars, and how outflows from stars and other astronomical sources affect the surrounding environments. The double radio lobes of Cygnus A (bottom) which span over 500,000 lightyears, are fed by jets of energetic particles formed near a 2.5 billion solar mass black hole. Similar jets are amongst the sources of very high energy gamma rays observed by the group and may be sites for the acceleration of the most energetic cosmic rays. The group plays a leading role in the Auger Observatory built to detect the sources of such cosmic rays. Image credits
