教学目标 Course Objectives
本课程的目标是对宇宙中各类天体的物理、化学特征与规律作系统全面的介绍。这首先包括了从小行星到气态大行
星、系外行星的这个行星际的世界,其次包括了太阳与白矮星、黑洞等恒星世界,还包括了从太阳系、银河系、本星系群
等不同层次的物质成团结构,最后还包括了时间与空间的性质。本课程就是要使学生对人类关于宇宙的知识有一个总体的
了解和掌握。
This course is to make a comprehensive introduction to the physical and chemical features of various celestial bodies
and the laws concerning their motion and evolution. This includes, first, the planetary worlds ranging from asteroids to
gas giants; second, the starry world from our Sun to white dwarfs and black holes; third, various scales of clustering of
matter in the universe, ranging from our Solar system to our galaxy Milky Way to the local group; and fourth, the
properties of space and time. In short, this course is aimed at helping students gain an integrated view of human’s
knowledge about the universe.
16.
预达学习成果 Learning Outcomes
学生学习完本课程后,预计将会了解、掌握以下知识:
1. 对地球、月球起源问题的物理、化学约束条件;
2. 类地行星与气态大行星的结构、物质组成,太阳系形成与演化;
3. 恒星演化与元素合成;
4. 时空性质、引力性质与宇宙物质分布。
Upon completing the course, the students are expected to gain knowledge/skills in the following fields/topics:
1. the physical and chemical constraints on the formation and evolution of the Earth-Moon system;
2. the structure and composition of terrestrial planets and gas giants, and the formation and evolution of the Solar
system;
3. evolution of stars and orgin of elements;
4. relativistic properties of space-time and gravitation, and models of distribution of matter in the universe.
