Course 1: Accretion and Ejection-Related MHD
This lecture is an introduction to MHD. Relevant equations, both in the classical and special-relativistic regimes are derived. The magnetic field...

Course 7: Cosmic Rays and Particle Acceleration at Astrophysical Shocks
The acceleration of particles in the vicinity of astrophysical shocks has become the main paradigm in astrophysics for the production of cosmic rays...
-
Course 12: Evolution of YSO Disks
As stars and planets form from accretion processes in disks, it is important to understand these processes and their evolutionary implications. While...
-
Course 11: Accretion Signatures in Young Stellar Objects
Mass accretion onto the star is taken place in young stellar objects, providing the energy needed to power the excess emission observed at all...
-
Course 8: The Black Hole Environments
Compact objects are astrophysical entities with radii smaller than about 10 Schwarzschild radii. The mass spectrum of these objects ranges from the...
-
Course 13: X-Rays from YSOS: Desperately Seeking the Central Engine
The earliest stages of the evolution of low-mass stars are characterized by the presence of powerful jets, likely originating from accretion via...
-
Course 6: Gamma-Ray Bursts
This lecture is an introduction to the study of gamma-ray bursts. Observations of the burst and its afterglow are first reviewed, with the...
-
Course 9: Accretion around Active Galactic Nuclei
In bright AGN, at distances of several Schwarzschild radii, the accretion onto a black hole proceeds predominantly in a form of a cool accretion...

Introduction
We summarize the topics presented in this book, and when appropriate we enlighten cross–references among the different topics: high precision and...

Cosmological Applications of Loop Quantum Gravity
After a brief introduction to classical and quantum gravity we discuss applications of loop quantum gravity in the cosmological realm. This includes...
-
Quantum Corrections to Scalar Quintessence Potentials
We give a brief introduction into the formalism of the effective action. We use the effective action to investigate the stability of scalar...

The Accelerating Universe and Dark Energy: Evidence from Type Ia Supernovae
I discuss the use of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) for cosmological distance determinations. Low-redshift SNe Ia (...

B Physics and CP Violation
After an introduction to the Standard-Model description of CP violation, we turn to the main focus of these lectures, the B-meson system. Since...

Heavy Flavor Production off Protons and in a Nuclear Environment
These lectures present an overview of the current status of the QCD based phenomenology for open and hidden heavy flavor production at high energies....

4 Abelian Gauge Fixing
The formation of monopoles and their condensation in the QCD ground state is a feature which is related to abelian gauge fixing, discussed in this...
-
Light-Quark Dynamics
At low energies E ≪ M W , the interactions of leptons and hadrons are described by QCD + QED up to corrections of order...
