Course details

Who should do this course?
  • For individuals who want to enhance their knowledge and skills in the field
What are the course deliverables?
  • You'll explore the lives and deaths of stars, including white dwarfs, novae, supernovae, neutron stars, and black holes
  • Learn how these objects form, evolve, and interact with their surroundings, and how they contribute to the chemical enrichment of the universe
  • Delve into the mind-bending physics governing these extreme objects, including quantum mechanics and relativity
  • Understand how these theories help us explain the observed properties of these objects and the phenomena associated with them
  • Discover the latest telescopes, detectors, and other instruments used to study these violent events
  • Learn how astronomers collect and analyze data to probe the mysteries of the universe's most energetic processes
More about this course
  • We will look at what we know about these objects, and also at the many unsolved mysteries that surround them
  • We will also study white-dwarf stars and neutron stars, where the mind-bending laws of quantum mechanics collide with relativity
  • And, examine dwarf novae, classical novae, supernovae and even hypernovae: the most violent explosions in the cosmos
  • This is the third of four ANUx courses which together make up the Australian National University's first year astrophysics program
  • It follows on from a course on the Greatest Unsolved Mysteries of the Universe, and a course on exoplanets
