Astrophysics of galaxies  

Description

The course addresses in depth some fundamental topics of the astrophysics of galaxies, training the students to analyze and critically discuss papers relevant for the current research in the field. Starting from a dynamical description of the structure of galaxies, the course then examines the comparison between model and observed quantities, in particular acquired with recent observational campaigns; the evidence for dark matter, extended and in the form of central massive black holes; the properties of the hot interstellar medium; the physical origin of the main galaxy scaling laws.
