Course description and aims
Formation of planets, extra-solar planets, solar system, and extra-solar planetary systems, is an interesting question. In order to understand the front line of planetary system formation studies, we look at basics of planetary system formation theory.
Student learning outcomes
To understand basics of planetary sciences and planetary system formation processes.
Keywords
Planetary System Formation, Planetary Sciences, Astronomy, Astrophysics
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | ✔ Intercultural skills | ✔ Communication skills | ✔ Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
Lecture
Lessons are mainly given in English, and if it is needed, Japanese is also used. Students are required to submit some reports.
Please pay attention on class dates: The first class will be held on April 18 (Thu).
