Description: Application of the physics and math techniques learned in the introductory course sequences, to the study of celestial objects outside the Solar system. We discuss stars and their formation from interstellar matter, the structure of galaxies and their distribution in the Universe, and the origins and large-scale structure of the Universe: all topics that are developed much further in the AST 200-level courses. The course also includes a night-time observing project, based upon student use of professional-style telescopes and CCD cameras. Registration of recitation is required at the time of course registration. Typical textbook: Marck Kutner, 'Astronomy' A Physical Perspective,' second edition.

Prerequisites: PHYS 141-143 or PHYS 121- 123 (PHYS 123 may be taken concurrently); MATH 161-165 or MATH 171-174 (MATH 174 may be taken concurrently), or permission of instructor; ASTR 111 recommended but not required
