The seminar will cover a wide range of advanced and fundamental topics in astrophysics. In each lecture, we will cover one chapter in a book or paper. All students are expected to read the chapter and be ready to give the lecture, while in each lecture, one student will be randomly selected to give the lecture.
Among the topics are: radiation transfer & radiative processes, compact objects, galactic dynamics, microlensing, and more.
