Mini-Course
on:
Growth of SuperMassive Black Holes |
| |
This mini-course is held
by Prof.
Andrew King (Leicester University), a world-expert on theory
and observations of accretion on Active Galactic Nuclei, the harbors of
super-massive black holes.
The lectures are tailored to advanced undergraduate and PhD students,
and to Physicists who are not familiar with the physics of accretion
onto a Black Hole.

The schedule of the
lectures is listed below.
