aims
Students will learn how to process and evaluate the data provided by modern astronomical observatories.

Besides providing a general understanding of modern observational astrophysics, the course will teach analytical methods applicable to a wide range of data types.
requirements
Courses in statistical methods, cosmology and/or astronomy are beneficial but not required.
structure / topics / contents
Observations of astronomical objects currently provide some of the most precise constraints of physical laws. This includes phenomena such as dark energy and dark matter, which only come to dominate on the scales of galaxies. Astrophysics has currently entered the era of multi-messenger astronomy, where observations made across the electromagnetic spectrum are combined with detections of gravitational waves, cosmic rays and neutrinos.

This course will introduce the analysis techniques needed to understand measurements made by astronomical detectors, and how to convert these into measurements of physical properties. During SS2025 we will get access to a brand new HU/DESY optical telescope, which can be used observe astronomical transients such as supernovae.
