Course Coordinator		Kazım Yavuz Ekşi
Course Objectives		1-Understanding the fundamental properties and dynamics of astrophysical plasmas. 2-Formation of required theoretical knowledge for following the literature on the astrophysics of black holes, neutron stars and white dwarfs. 3-Transferring the theoretical knowledge required for following the literature on high energy astrophysics.
Course Description		The course covers the dynamics of astrophysical fluids and radiative processes. Accretion disks around compact objects like black holes, neutron stars and white dwarfs are studied. These are then related to the contemporary research fields, like X-ray binaries, active galactic nuclei, gamma ray bursts, of high energy astrophysics.
Course Outcomes		1. An acquaintance with astrophysical fluids. 2. Learning the topics of high energy astrophysics 3. Understanding the structure, formation, and observationally manifestations compact objects (neutron stars, black holes and white dwarfs). 4. Comprehending the astrophysical radiatiative and energy transport processes.
