Theoretical astrophysics pdf

Theory connects that data together into a full understanding
And makes predictions about phenomena we haven’t observed yet. Theoretical astrophysics includes
Mathematical models for astronomical systems
Along with templates to fit to new results when they arise.

After the basics of dynamics, electromagnetic theory, and statistical physics are re- viewed, a solid understanding of all the key concepts such as radiative processes, spectra, fluid mechanics, plasma physics and magnetohydrodynamics, dynamics of gravitating systems, general relativity, and nuclear physics is developed
