astrofys
Astrofys is a term used to describe an approach or subdiscipline that focuses on the physical processes governing astronomical phenomena. It emphasizes constructing physics-based explanations for observations of stars, galaxies, and the cosmos, often through a combination of analytical theory, numerical modeling, and observation.
Core topics include radiative processes, plasma physics, magnetohydrodynamics, nuclear physics in stellar cores and explosive events,
Methods used in astrofys span observational and computational techniques. Observations across the electromagnetic spectrum provide data
In practice, astrofys is often treated as synonymous with astrophysics or as a subfield emphasizing physical
