"Terms in meteor astronomy, history and methods of observations, formation of meteoroid streams, shower and sporadic activity, physics of meteoroid interaction with the atmosphere, nature of meteor emission, basics of spectroscopy and physical properties of meteoroids. Meteorites – statistics, atmospheric interaction. Light, sound and impact effects. Classification, stony, stony-iron and iron meteorites. Antarctic meteorites, Slovak meteorites. Meteorite ages. Meteoritic craters. Differentiation between meteorites and terrestrial minerals.\n\nOutcome:\nStudents will learn the physics of the meteoroid interaction with the atmosphere, origin and formation of meteoroid streams, history and methods and analyses of meteors, nature of meteor emission and physical properties of meteoroids. They will also learn about light, sound and impact effects of meteorite falls, their statistics, classification, chemical and mineralogical composition, structural properties, and ages. After completing the course, students will be able to perform basic analysis of meteors and meteoroids, to classify different types of meteorites and distinguish them from terrestrial rocks and materials." . .

"The graduate of the second degree study program Astronomy and Astrophysics has mastered theoretical and physical methods and mathematical apparatus for solving complex problems in astronomy and astrophysics and related fields. The graduate will gain an overview of a wide range of theoretical and experimental methods of physics and their application in various fields of astronomy. The graduate will gain theoretical and methodological knowledge of the latest research fields and trends in astronomy and related sciences in Slovakia and abroad, corresponding to the current state of scientific knowledge.\n\nThe study of astronomy and astrophysics integrates several areas of physics. The graduate will acquire knowledge in the field of plasma physics and magnetohydrodynamics, quantum mechanics, statistical physics, astrodynamics, and others. The graduate will be able to apply his knowledge and experience to related disciplines, can develop and use computer models of physical phenomena related to astrophysical processes, can use operate computer-controlled instruments such as telescopes and special systems for the detection of astronomical phenomena.\n\nWhile solving the diploma thesis, the graduate will master the principles of independent scientific work, will be able to formulate scientific problems, critically evaluate the obtained results, creatively apply the acquired knowledge and skills in solving new tasks, learn to present and defend the obtained results.\n\nThe graduate will be able to follow the latest scientific and research trends in their field, supplement and update their knowledge through lifelong learning. The graduate will be able to clarify and popularize scientific knowledge in his/her related fields to the general public at a comprehensible level. The study of this program creates preconditions for continuing in the third degree of study, especially in the study program Astronomy and Astrophysics.\n\nOutcome:\nThe master's degree study program Astronomy and Astrophysics follows up the bachelor's degree programs in physics. The program consists of a block of compulsory, compulsory-optional elective and optional courses. In the block of compulsory profile courses, the student acquires fundamental knowledge of theoretical astrophysics, which has an interdisciplinary character relevant in several areas of physics, including magnetohydrodynamics, quantum physics, thermodynamics and radiative transfer. Other courses are related with astrodynamics, Solar physics and the Solar System physics, kinematics and dynamics of galaxies. The study plan includes training in practical skills related to the work and use of astronomical instruments at the university astronomical observatory FMFI UK (AGO) in Modra. This applies to the courses of Laboratory Practice and Field Practice.\n\nIn the block of compulsory-optional courses, there are mainly courses extending the individual focus of expertise within the study program. The selection of compulsory-optional profile subjects is basically divided into two areas, astrophysics (Cosmic Electrodynamics and Spectroscopy in Astronomy) and astronomy (Planetary Cosmogony).\n\nOptional courses deepen specific knowledge according to interest and in the selected focus and allow students to choose courses directly related to the focus of their thesis."@en . . . . . .

"The study program Astronomy and Astrophysics is interdisciplinary, consists of several areas of physics, such as plasma physics, kinematics and dynamics (e.g. within the Solar System, galactic astronomy, gravity theory), quantum mechanics (e.g. spectroscopy), and also transcends into chemistry, geology (e.g. planetary physics, diverse meteorite research), biology (astrobiology), and mathematics (statistics, numerical methods, physical modeling). The acquired knowledge and skills form the basis for future scientific and pedagogical work in astronomy, but also in related fields (plasma physics, radiation, hydrodynamics, etc.) of small bodies of the Solar System, solar physics, stellar and galactic astronomy and astrophysics at the institutes of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, the Czech Academy of Sciences and universities in Slovakia and abroad. At the same time, our graduates gain practical skills in observing, controlling and operating complex instruments, such as telescopes, computerized mounts, automatic and robotic systems such as AMOS and others. In addition to improving scientific skills, these activities also develop programming skills and skills associated with extracting and processing large amounts of data.\n\nThe study program does not prepare graduates for regulated professions."@en .
