Ay 111a, Introduction to Current Research, Winter 2024

The class is held on Fridays, 11-12, in Cahill 219

Instructor/coordinator: George Djorgovski, george-at-astro

The purpose of these seminars is to familiarize the first-year Ay graduate students with the research done by our faculty, and thus assist them in choosing their initial research projects. Attendance by first-year students is thus mandatory. Anyone else is welcome to attend, subject to approval by the instructor. Informal continued discussions after the seminars are encouraged.

Grading: P/F
Requirements: (1) Attendance of all lectures; exceptions may be granted at the instructor's discretion for valid reasons. (2) A 1-2 page written summary of one or two subject(s) you found most interesting. It is also highly recommended that the students attend the weekly Astronomy colloquia.
