Summary:  This course assumes some basic knowledge of astronomical facts and terminology at the level introduced in Physics 216 as well as a basic knowledge of physics. It is assumed that the student is familiar with coordinate systems and has some understanding as to how distances, sizes, and masses in astronomy are obtained.  The emphasis in this course is on the physical understanding of astronomical processes, especially with regards to radiation processes, with applications to real objects, as appropriate.

Evaluation:  Assignments: 25%, Observing Project: 25%, Final Exam: 50%

Final Exam:  TBA
