The aim of the course is to provide adequate knowledge about the physics of the planets of the solar system and of exoplanets, with particular regard to the techniques of investigation of atmospheres, surfaces and sub-surfaces of planets.
There is no single text that completely covers the topics of the course. A recommended text is: Imke de Pater and Jack J. Lissauer, Planetary Sciences, Cambridge University Press.
During the course, review scientific articles will be suggested from time to time.
Materials:
- Course slides
- Scientific articles

Attendance
Attendance isn't mandatory, but it's always highly recommendedType of evaluation
The examination takes place in oral form based on three open questions aimed at understanding the mastery and preparation on the course topics. Besides, the student is given two scientific Review articles that the student must study. During the examination, the student will have to expose the one that is drawn by lot. The evaluation is based on the understanding and mastery of the topic and on the language property with which it is exposed. teacher profile teaching materials
