The one who did not meet has the right to delayed exam if he/she was sick and has delivered a medical attestation to the Faculty administration. If he/she wants to take a delayed exam, he/she must register for it on StudentWeb between ca. 20 June and 1 August, we will then arrange the delayed exam ca. 10-15 August. For further information, contact the Faculty study information centre, http://www.matnat.uio.no/studier/
The Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics wishes you all a nice summer, and wishes you welcome to AST2120 in the autumn!
A possible solution to the final exam is found here: Look here.
Have a nice summer!
Final exam: Time and place: see "Eksamen og vurderingsformer: Tid og sted" to the left. For the exam, you MUST bring ID. Allowed material is: Øgrim & Lian: Størrelser og enheter i fysikk og teknikk, Rottmann: Matematisk formelsamling, calculator, two A4 pages (can be written on both sides) with your own notes. Exam papers will be available in both Norwegian and in English. Good luck!
Chapter 29.2 is cursory and will not be lectured.
Ekstraordinær generalforsamling i Astrofysisk fagutvalg 24. mai: Den tidligere utsatte ekstraordinære generalforsamlingen i Astrofysisk Fagutvalg (AFU) kommer til å finne sted 24.mai 2007, kl.16.15 i Peisestua. Etter møtet, som ikke kommer til å ta all verdens tid, blir det mat og hygge for alle de fremmøtte! Mer informasjon her
If you want solutions to the exercises given for 26 April, please see me in my office (room 403). They were easier than the exercises given for 3 May, but some may still have given somebody some headache. I strongly recommend that you do the exercises for each week, you can learn a lot from them (more than from the lectures)! It is e.g., extremely valuable to really get used to calculating with the quantities we use in astronomy (kpc, arcsec per year, solar masses etc.).
Per
Since nobody came to the exercise session today, and since some of the exercises were quite difficult, my suggested solutions are found here
You should try to solve them on your own (with some help from this solution), they are really good exercises that teach you something about galaxies!
For the project exercise, question c you need the following information which was forgotten: The Moon was in the south seen from Oslo (had hour angle of 0) at 00:30 Norwegian standard time on the 4th of March. The latitude of Oslo is 59 degrees, 54 arcminutes and 48 arcseconds.
Sharp students this year! Thanks to those who discovered an error in the Norwegian version of the project exercise! The final date is of course 5th March, both for the Sun and the Moon!
The compulsory project exercise is found to the left under "Oblig 2007".

Mid term exam: The mid term exam is Monday 26th March at 13:30 - 16:30. Place: Physics Building, 4th floor. For the mid-term exam, you MUST bring ID. Allowed material is: Øgrim & Lian: Størrelser og enheter i fysikk og teknikk, Rottmann: Matematisk formelsamling, calculator, two A4 pages (can be written on both sides) with your own notes. The syllabus for the exam is chapter 1, 2, 3, 4 and 17 of the textbook (2nd edition) + Aksnes' lecture notes on spherical astronomy and celestial mechanics and Lilje's lecture notes on special relativity. Exam papers will be available in both Norwegian and in English. Good luck!
The exercises for Thursday 22nd February: It is Midterm exam 2006, exercise 3, not 2 (sorry for the misprint)!
The Curriculum (Pensum/læringskrav) has been updated, using chapter and page numbers from Edition 2. The course will NOT cover a description of the Planetary system. Those who are interested in that can follow the lectures of AST1010 (in Norwgian only) from February 1 to February 22, see here
On Tuesday 7.02 13:15 - 14:00 in room 209, Aksnes will start going through the problems at the end of Ch. 2 in the text book, instead of lecturing as earlier announced. The problem solving will continue on Thursday 8.02 14:15 - 16:00 in room 304. The students are urged to look at the problems beforehand.
