Advanced Astronomical Instrumentation will cover all instruments from?Gamma rays to radio waves. A key component of the module will be a?workshop on astronomical instrumentation. Key instrument developers?will host these workshops at which they will share their expertise in?instrument development. Together with local staff they will lead the?students in group design projects (worth 5 credits), where the students?will be tasked with developing the design for new instruments and?defending the design in a ?design review?. Modern Observational?Astronomy will cover the areas of most active current research in?Astronomy, including exoplanets, pulsars, galactic evolution, cosmology,gravitational waves.
