High energy astrophysics  

Description

The course covers the following areas: compact objects, mass transfer in binary systems, accretion discs, active galactic nuclei, gamma-radiation bursts, cosmic radiation and acceleration mechanisms for relativistic particles. It is expected that the student after taking the course will be able to: describe the most important radiation mechanisms and their observable aspects, and the dynamics of different types of compact objects - show understanding for the basic physics of accretion discs - describe different acceleration processes - describe the most common relativistic effects of compact objects.
