In this course the basics of atomic physics will be introduced. In particular, the following topics will be covered:
1. Helium atom (exchange symmetry and Pauli principle, solution of the Schrödinger equation for the He atom)
2. Many-electron atoms (method of Hartree-Fock, shell model, electronic configurations, screening)
3. Angular momentum (spin-orbit interaction, L-S and j-j coupling schemes, atomic levels)
4. Chemical and physical properties of elements
5. Interaction with external magnetic and electric fields (Zeeman effect, Stark effect)

The lecture introduces the field of experimental astrophysics. It will outline several techniques used for characterizing objects and determine the distance towards them. The behavior and temporal evolution of objects such as stars, planets and galaxies will be studied and related to their specific signature in astronomical measurements. This relationship between object and measurements will be further experimented by performing simple data analysis on real datasets.

Einstein’s relativity, special and general, is a cornerstone of modern physics. It embraces topics like time delation, curved spacetime, black holes, gravitational waves, and cosmology. This class uses a “physics first” approach to make this theory accessible with a minimum of tensor calculus.
