General information


Space Physics is offered as a 5-credit (hp) master course in physics at Uppsala University.

More information is available on the course page on the Student Portal.

Unless all students speak Swedish, the courses are usually taught in English.

This page is a source of auxilliary course information. Schedule changes etcetera are now advertised on the Student Portal.

Literature

The course book is Introduction to the space environment by Thomas F. Tascione, which you actually can live without by attending the lectures, and the compendium Lecture Notes on Space Physics from the Sun to the Aurora by Kjell Rönnmark, handed out at the lectures. There will also be problem sets and some other papers, some of which are available below.


Hand-in problem (autumn 2011)

There is one optional hand-in exercise (inlämningsuppgift). If handed in in acceptable shape in due time, this can replace a solution to problem 5(a) on the final exam. The problem is given in English, but you may of course write the solution in either Swedish or English, as you prefer.


Course material

The following papers have been, or will be, handed out:

Some useful material on the web:

Exams

Examination for Space Physics I is a written 5-hour exam. It is possible to get 30 points on the exam (see grade limits page). Note that the hand-in problems give up to 3 points extra, though only at the nominal exam date (ordinarie tentamen).
