Ay 216 (Interstellar Medium)
Spring 2008
I will give an updated version of the ISM course AY216 based on
the course that James Graham and I started in 2003, where equal
weight was given to the diffuse and dense components, with the
latter including an introduction to star formation. Since Steve
Stahler just gave a course on star formation last fall, I will
reduce the coverage of this topic by stopping at the formation
of molecular cloud cores. In its place I plan to give more
coverage to the IGM and to the evolution of cosmic gas properties
over time.
The lectures will be available at the Astronomy Department's web site:
