Frontiers and Controversies in Astrophysics  

 

 

Lecture 1 - Introduction

 

 

 

Overview: 

 

 

Professor Bailyn introduces the course and discusses the course material and requirements. The three major topics that the course will cover are:

(1) exoplanets--planets around stars other than the Sun,
(2) black holes--stars whose gravitational pull is so strong that even their own light rays cannot escape, and
(3) cosmology--the study of the Universe as a whole. Class proper begins with a discussion on planetary orbits.

A brief history of astronomy is also given and its major contributors over the centuries are introduced: Ptolemy, Galileo, Copernicus, Kepler, and Newton.
