Journey to the ends of the Universe: an introduction to astrophysics

• From the moment you have validated a UEO, you cannot submit your application a second time to the same UEO.

For students in an exchange program, registration is made directly with the International Relations Department (without going through the registration platform dedicated to the UEO).

In this UEO, we will meet the main “entities” that populate the cosmos (planets, stars, black holes, nebulae, galaxies, etc.), in order to discover the way in which our Universe is structured today. In particular, we will discuss, in a qualitative manner, the various physical processes which describe how these entities appeared during cosmic history (for example, the birth and death of stars, or the growth of galaxies). This will allow us to understand more precisely why this Universe, seemingly immutable, is in reality evolving.

Furthermore, we will discuss the inseparable notions of space and time, with the aim of better understanding the gigantism of the dimensions that we are confronted with in astrophysics. Finally, our journey will lead us to discuss the great mysteries that astronomers are still trying to unravel (dark matter, dark energy, exoplanets, etc.). On this occasion, we will detail the techniques and means of observation currently used by researchers, both from the ground and in space, in order to further deepen our understanding of the Universe around us. We will also approach this last aspect in a practical way, which will allow us to acquire the concepts necessary for carrying out an astronomical observation and the scientific exploitation of it.
