careers related to astrophysics
Hello student,
Astrophysics is a branch of astronomy. This field applies the laws of physics and chemistry to explain the birth, life, and death of stars, planets, galaxies, nebulae and other objects in the universe. It is very closely related to astronomy and cosmology.
This branch applies the principles of physics and chemistry to ascertain the nature of the astronomical objects, rather than their positions or motions in space. An astrophysicist takes the observed behavior of celestial bodies and applies the laws of physics derived on Earth to understand their fundamental nature.
The major job options in this field comes after doing PhD in this . You could work in Government affiliated and private owned observatories. Some places are listed below.
- Bhaba Atomic Research Centre (BARC),
- Inter-University Centre for Astronomy & Astrophysics (IUCAA), Pune
- National Centre for Radio Astrophysics (NCRA), Pune
- Technology Information Forecasting & Assessment Control (TIFAC)
- Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO)
Hope this helps.
