AST1420H: Galactic Structure and Dynamics

This course provides an introduction to galaxies and their properties. The focus of the course is on the physical understanding of the fundamental processes that shape galaxies and their constituents and much attention will go to various manifestations of the gravitational force, arguably the most important force shaping galaxies. We will also focus on learning the basic theoretical tools and observational data sets used in the study of galaxies.

Traditional Land Acknowledgement

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
