                                Ay 216 (Interstellar Medium)

      Old Lecture Notes

      Full Course - Spring 2008

This is an updated version of the ISM course AY216 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. The coverage of this topic is reduced this semester in favor of an introduction to the IGM and the evolution of cosmic gas properties over time. 


The lectures are available at the Astronomy Department's web site:

                                                                        Dense ISM - Spring 2009

In the spring of 2009 AY216 was given by Carl Heiles and myself. Carl's lectures are given in his webpage (http://astron.berkeley.edu/~heiles), and mine are accessible as follows:
