"### Teaching language\n\nEnglish \n_Obs.: As aulas serão em português caso todos dominem esta língua._\n\n### Objectives\n\nThe general objective of this lecture course is to familiarize students with some techniques currently used in data analysis in Astronomy. In particular, it is intended that students develop an understanding of the main concepts underpinning the process of scientific inference and become capable of applying them when trying to solve problems in Astronomy.\n\n### Learning outcomes and competences\n\nIt is expected that the student will be able to apply the methods associated with the process of scientific inference to the analysis of data and the resolution of problems in Astronomy.\n\n### Working method\n\nPresencial\n\n### Program\n\n\\- Deductive and inductive inference in the scientific method. \n\\- Parameter estimation and model comparison in Physics and Astronomy: exemplification through the analysis of spectra and detection of sources. \n\\- Analytical fitting of linear physical models in the presence of Gaussian uncertainties. \n\\- Computational fitting of nonlinear physical models. \n\\- Analysis of time series and images. \n\\- Definition of experimental and observational strategies in Physics and Astronomy.\n\n### Mandatory literature\n\nP.

Problems illustrating the concepts presented are also solved, and discussion is promoted in the classroom, contributing to the consolidation of knowledge and the development of a critical mind. In the practical-laboratorial classes, methods and techniques are implemented that can be used in the context of the analysis of data, such as spectra, time series and images, relevant for Physics and Astronomy.\n\n### Evaluation Type\n\nDistributed evaluation with final exam\n\n### Assessment Components\n\nExam: 35,00%\nWritten assignment: 65,00%\n**Total:**: 100,00%\n\n### Amount of time allocated to each course unit\n\nAutonomous study: 106,00 hours\nFrequency of lectures: 56,00 hours\n\n**Total:**: 162,00 hours\n\n### Eligibility for exams\n\nIn the final exam students are required to obtain a minimum classification of 8 in 20.\n\n### Calculation formula of final grade\n\nThe final classification is given by: Nf=0.35\\*Ex+0.35\\*Tr1+0.30\\*Tr2 where Nf is the final classification (cannot be below 10 in a scale of 0 to 20), Ex is the classification in the final exam (cannot be below 8 in a scale of 0 to 20), Tr1 and Tr2 are the overall classifications respectively in the first and second pratical work tasks with written report (between 0 and 20).\n\n### Examinations or Special Assignments\n\nPratical work tasks with required submission of written reports will be given to all students, and their classification will have a weight of 65 per cent towards the final classification.\n\n### Classification improvement\n\nThe improvement of the final classification can be made only by improving the classification in the written exam, that will still have a weigh of 35 percent in the final classification. It will not be possible to improve the classification in the pratical work tasks.\n\nMore information at: https://sigarra.up.pt/fcup/en/ucurr_geral.ficha_uc_view?pv_ocorrencia_id=498806" . .

In particular, in order to improve their preparation for a research career in Astronomy, through their subsequent enrolment in a Doctoral Programme in Astronomy.\n\n### Admissions Requirements\n\nApplicants to the Second Cycle (Master) in Astronomy must hold a First Cycle (Bachelor) degree (minimum of 180 ECTS credits) or equivalent (including higher education foreign degrees), whose curriculum includes at least 30 ECTS credits, or equivalent, in Mathematics and Physics, including a minimum of 12 ECTS credits in each of these scientific areas. Candidates that may verify these conditions before the end of the registration period in the Master in Astronomy can also apply. Holders of an academic, scientific or professional curriculum that is recognised as attesting the capacity to successfully complete this cycle of studies by the Scientific Committee of the Master in Astronomy may also be admitted. \n\n### Criteria for Selection and Ranking\n\nThe ranking will be done according to the following criteria and sub-criteria:\n\n* 1.1 - Academic curriculum (training area and average grade) (80%)\n * 1.1.1 - Subcriterion 1: training area (40%)\n * 1.1.2 - Subcriterion 2: average and adequacy of the degree (40%)\n* 1.2 - Scientific curriculum and professional experience (20%)\n * 1.2.1 - Subcriterion 1: technical and/or scientific publications and communications (10%)\n * 1.2.2 - Subcriterion 2: participation in research projects, internships in the area of the cycle of studies or other relevant professional experience (10%)\n\n \nNote: Candidates who do not yet hold a Bachelor's degree and/or have an academic, scientific or professional curriculum which is recognized as attesting the capacity to carry out this cycle of studies by the statutory competent scientific body, will be ranked according to the criteria and subcriteria indicated above, with the difference that the final average mark of the degree will be replaced by the weighted average mark of all curricular units completed to date. \n \n**Candidates' tiebreaker criterion:** greater number of ECTS credits obtained in the area of the cycle of studies.\n\n### Teaching Language\n\n* Fully in English\n\n### Information\n\nIt is highly desirable that candidates possess programming skills and a good written and oral command of the English language.\n\n### Contacts\n\nCourse Director: m.ast.diretor@fc.up.pt\n\nPostgraduate Section: pos.graduacao@fc.up.pt\n\nStudents: m.ast@fc.up.pt\n\n### General information\n\n* Information for applicants: https://sigarra.up.pt/fcup/en/cur_geral.cur_info_cand_view?pv_curso_id=871&pv_ano_lectivo=2022&pv_tipo_cur_sigla=m&pv_origem=cur \n\nDirector: Catarina Lobo\n\nAcronym: M:A_ASTR\n\nAcademic Degree: Master\n\nType of course/cycle of study: Masters Degree\n\nStart: 2007/2008\n\nDuration: 4 Semesters\n\n### Study Plan\n\n* Plano de Estudos oficial desde 2013/14: https://sigarra.up.pt/fcup/en/cur_geral.cur_planos_estudos_view?pv_plano_id=6001&pv_ano_lectivo=2022&pv_tipo_cur_sigla=m&pv_origem=cur \n\n* All Courses of Study: https://sigarra.up.pt/fcup/en/cur_geral.cur_planos_estudos_list?pv_curso_id=871&pv_ano_lectivo=2022&pv_tipo_cur_sigla=m&pv_origem=cur \n\n### Certificates\n\n* Master's degree in Astronomy and Astrophysics (120 ECTS credits)\n* Specialization in Astronomy and Astrophysics (66 ECTS credits)\n\n### Predominant Scientific Areas\n\n* Astronomy\n* Physics"@en . . . .
