Astronomy and Astrophysics

Education

Members of the research group provide education in astronomy and astrophysics at the Bachelor and Master levels. Education is also focused on the development of practical skills. In the second year, students will receive as part of their introductory astronomy course, an interactive lab presented (Star Light in the classroom). We work based on their own observations, made by the students with a steerable telescope via the Internet.
