Course Goal
Particularly focusing on celestial objects such as close binary systems containing compact objects and active nuclei, and understanding the accretion mechanism, which is known to make a significant contribution to the total radiation of such systems, with the help of basic physics and astronomy knowledge.
Course Content
The accretion mechanism, which is the source of radiated energy, is investigated for an X-ray binary system containing a compact object (white dwarf, neutron star or black hole) and an Active Galactic Nuclei
Course Precondition
none
