Astronomy 660 - Astrophysics/Fluids&Spacetime

This course covers the principles of gas dynamics with a focus on astrophysical applications (e.g. self-gravitating fluids, instabilities, shock waves, turbulence, accretion disks) and an introduction to General Relativity with a focus on astrophysical applications (e.g. Schwarzschild and Robertson-Walker metrics, Friedmann equations, gravity waves).
