Astrophysical Content
---Discuss conceptual understanding and work mathematical solutions of orbits related to the solar system, extra-solar planets, and binary stars.
---Discuss conceptual understanding and work mathematical solutions for the formation of spectral lines in astrophysical objects.
---Discuss conceptual understanding and work mathematical solutions for the basics of stellar structure and evolution.
Astronomical Writing Skills
Prepare an astronomy journal style article detailing a single astronomical topic related to class material. Do this with proper ethical considerations.
