Basics of Astrophysics

A compact introduction that walks through the physics of stars, radiation, and the structure of the universe. Clear lecture notes ideal for a first course in astrophysics.

M. Kachelrieß

Comprehensive lecture notes covering celestial mechanics, stellar physics, and the tools astronomers use to study the cosmos. A thorough starting point for undergraduates.

Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics

A rigorous course on astrophysical fluid dynamics, radiative transfer, and self-gravitating systems. Aimed at students ready to derive the equations behind modern astrophysics.

Dr. Romain Teyssier

A clear introduction to the fluid dynamics that governs stars, accretion disks, and the interstellar medium. These lecture notes build the equations of astrophysical flows from the ground up.
