INFORMATION
CAMK offers PhD courses in astronomy and astrophysics. The course lasts 4 years and ends with a PhD thesis. During the course, the student attends lectures and participates in research under the direction of a supervisor. The candidate must be able to understand sufficient English to be able to attend lectures given in that language. Successful applicants for the course are chosen in June.

FALL 2011 The Universe in X-rays - telescopes, observations and theory Dr. hab. Agata Różańska - CAMK, PAN, Warszawa The intent of the lecture is to summarize the present status of the X-ray Astronomy. This field of research become quite challenging, and it has evolved with enormous pace. The number of known sources has increased by a factor of thousand, but more important, they now comprise almost all classes of astronomical objects - from planets, moons, and comets, out to clusters of galaxies and quasars. In the era of multi-wavelength astronomy X-ray observations provide insight into extreme physical conditions prevailing in all these sources. I will start with a discussion of instruments and methods, and then continue with the status of galactic and extragalactic X-ray astronomy respectively. I plan to introduce "hands-on" sessions during my lecture. SPRING 2011 Accretion processes in astrophysics Prof. dr. hab. Bozena Czerny - CAMK, PAN, Warszawa The series of lectures will present the role of accretion as a sources of energii in several types of astronomical objects. I will introduce the basic parameters of accretion and will discuss their observational determination, and next I will describe the basic accretion modes (spherical accretion, disk accretion), including the transonic character of the flow. I will close with the summary of the properties of several classes of objects where the accretion plays a leading role. FALL 2010 Series of lectures on selected topics of modern astrophysics Isaac Shlosman - Department of Physics and Astronomy University of Kentucky, Lexington, USA
SPRING 2010 Physics of binary stars Prof. dr. hab. Aleksander Schwarzenberg-Czerny - CAMK, PAN, Warszawa FALL 2009 Modern cosmology Dr hab. Michal Chodorowski - CAMK, PAN, Warszawa
The first lecture: 06.10.2009, 11:15am in the small seminar room at CAMK.
The lectures will be given every two weeks at hours: 11:15 - 13:00 and 14:15 - 16:00. Course: "Practical introduction to computer techniques for astronomers" K. Leszczynski, P. Ciecielag Wednesday 14:00-15:45 The course is organized by the Computer Department at CAMK. Attendance is obligatory for PhD students. The course aims to give a broad introduction to computer-related topics which might be helpful in research work. SPRING 2009 Gravitational waves Prof. dr. hab. Tomasz Bulik - CAMK, PAN, Warszawa FALL 2008 Search and investigation of extrasolar planets Dr. hab. Maciej Konacki - CAMK, PAN, Torun SPRING 2008 Formation and Early Evolution of Planetary Systems prof. M. Różyczka - CAMK, PAN, Warszawa

Lecture webpage.
The first lecture: 15 II 2008, 11:00am in the small seminar room at CAMK FALL 2007 CATACLYSMIC VARIABLES prof. J. I. Smak - CAMK, PAN, Warszawa
The first lecture: 16 X 2007, 10:00am Tuesday 10:00am, small seminar room at CAMK SPRING 2007 Astrophysical spctroscopy dr hab. Piotr ŻYCKI - CAMK, PAN, Warszawa Discrete spectral features (emission/absorption lines, absorption edges, recombination continua) are observed in the entire electromagnetic spectral range from astrophysical objects. They carry information about physical conditions, elemental abundaces and dynamics of astrophysical plasma. This course will cover physical processes leading to production of those spectral features, and methods of inferring the physical parameters from observational data.
