"This course addresses the late stages of stellar evolution, with focus on the massive stars which end their lives\nas supernovae and/or gamma ray bursts. The theory and stages of nuclear burning from helium ignition to the\nformation of an iron core are laid out, and the origin the elements in the periodic table is discussed. The\nimportant role of neutrino cooling for the now more rapid and qualitatively different stellar evolution is\nemphasized. The connection between stellar properties, such as mass and metallicity, and observational\nclassifications are discussed in the context of the supernova that results.\nThe course further treats the physics of supernova explosions, and how advanced computer simulations have\nimproved our understanding of these. We review the fundamental processes forming the light curve and\nspectra of the supernova, and diagnostic methods to determine the structure of the ejecta. Results from theory\nand observations are combined to describe the landscape of successful explosions versus failed ones leading\nto black hole formation, and associations between different stellar classes and supernova types.\nGamma ray bursts are reviewed, and the connection of these to the most massive and rapidly rotating stars in\nthe Universe is discussed. We study also briefly exotic transients such as superluminous supernovae and\nkilonovae. Learnining outcomes: - describe the star's late evolutionary stages, both on microphysical and macrocopic scales, as\nwell as the connection between stellar properties and observational classes.\n- use publicly available software to make simulations of a star’s evolution, and analyse how\nchanged assumptions affect the evolution.\n- account for the different phases in a supernova explosion, observational properties of supernovae, and\nclassifications based on these properties.\n- deduce and apply analytic formulae to estimate the physical parameters of a supernova from observed light\ncurves and spectra.\n- describe fundamental phenomenology of gamma-ray bursts, models for their emission processes, and\nrelation to the central engine.\n- couple together results from observations, simulations, and theory to differentiate between well established\nand more speculative properties of massive stars, supernovae, and gamma ray bursts.\n- argue for the origin of each element in the periodic table." . .

"Presential"@en . "Astronomers seek to understand phenomena and physical processes we observe in the Universe. In order to do this, you will draw on various fields of physics to create a complete picture of the processes at work and how they interact. This requires you to draw on a wide array of knowledge, developing your skills to solve complex problems. Together with our researchers, you will explore fundamental laws of radiation and study topics from planet formation to the evolution of galaxies. In the practical courses you will learn to plan and execute astronomical observations, and gain hands-on experience using research telescopes."@en . . "2"@en . "FALSE" . . "Master"@en . "Thesis" .
