In contrast to other natural scientists, astrophysicists cannot directly experiment with the objects of their interest. With a few exceptions, all knowledge of the physics of objects in the Universe must be obtained from the electromagnetic radiation emitted by them. Besides the analysis of spectra and lightcurves, the investigation of images is therefore one of the most important tools in astrophysics. In addition to images in visible light, imaging instruments are used in all accessible wavelength ranges, i.e., from radio to gamma-rays. This course is divided into five blocks: Introduction, basic methods of image processing, advanced methods, modern applications, and an outlook.
The fundamental concept of this online course is the close interaction between theory and tutorials as well as hands-on exercises using data of ground- and space-based telescopes. The aim of the course is to provide a basic understanding of imaging methods using examples from modern astronomy.

Demonstrationskurs für die VHB-Veranstaltung  Elementary Quantitative Risk Assessment.

Der Kurs Elementary Quantitative Risk Assessment bietet Studierenden Methoden der quantitativen Modellbildung und Analyse mit Fokus auf Anwendungen im Risikomanagement. Da diese Methodik in rein betriebswirtschaftlichen Risikomanagementveranstaltungen nicht ausreichend behandelt werden kann, erweitert dieser Kurs Risikomanagement-Kompetenzen in entscheidender Weise. Der Kurs bietet zudem für Studierende der Wirtschaftsmathematik Anwendungsmöglichkeiten der bisher erworbenen mathematisch-stochastischen Kenntnisse mit besonderem Fokus auf den Risikokontext.

Besides the analysis of spectra and lightcurves, the investigation of images is therefore one of the most important tools in astrophysics. In addition to images in visible light, imaging instruments are used in all wavelength ranges, i.e., from radio to gamma-rays. This course is divided into four blocks: Introduction, basic methods of image processing, advanced methods and outlook.
The fundamental concept of this online course is the close interaction between the theory as well as tutorials and hands-on exercises using data of ground- and space-based instruments. The aim of the course is to provide a basic understanding of imaging methods using examples from modern astronomy with measurements from ground-based telescopes and satellites
